Hilarious Parody and Tribute to Adventure Stories

In a future where the fantastic is banal, Joe Gosh is a down-on-his-luck nobody who stumbles upon a way to acquire super powers. Will he manage to exploit them to his own, or anybody's, benefit? This novel has it all: a zombie car theft ring, a computer controlled demon, an atomic extortionist, a runaway honky-tonk star, and dinosaurs! Tom De Haven manages it all with deft understatement.
