This is a wickedly funny satire! Nick and his fellow MOD (Merchants of Death) Squad friends are promoters of three of the worst Catch 22's in America (cigarettes, alcohol, and guns), but they take their job with pride. The book also takes a humorous look at those that lobby against these products (at least those that are a little overzealous). One of the funniest characters if MOD Squad member, Bobby Jay, who is a born again Christian, but also does promotion for the gun industry! Not only is this a clever and witty satire, but the end of the novel is very exciting!
