Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Dorsey's 10th novel to feature Serge A. Storms and Coleman (after 2007's Hurricane Punch) offers sex, violence, more violence and Three Stooges–like action. After meeting up with Rachael, a stripper and drug addict, Serge and Coleman, bored and broke, take a Florida road trip. Meanwhile, several other characters, destined to converge, start their own treks: killer Tex McGraw, sprung from prison with revenge on his mind; empty-nesters Jim and Martha Davenport, seeking a little excitement; the G-Unit, a group of investing grannies who like to cruise; three American drug dealers and three Mexican drug dealers, with a new smuggling operation; and two Davis Islands residents, one a famous ex-football player. Recurring fave Johnny Vegas pops up, too, along with several government agencies. While Dorsey's brand of comedy isn't for the faint of heart, this fast-moving, raucous tale delivers its usual punch while gleefully skewering everyone and everything along the way. (Feb.)

From AudioFile

Raunchy, raucous, and riotously funny, ATOMIC LOBSTER, as narrated by Oliver Wyman, is a whirlwind of over-the-top comic genius. The story features a psychopath with a twisted sense of humor, Serge A. Storms, and his dopey sidekick, Coleman. This installment turns the duo loose on a cruise ship with a pack of goofy grannies called the "G Unit" and a mysterious CIA agent in search of drugs. The sex is weird and hot, the violence outrageous and funny, so this is not for the younger set. Wyman uses every ounce of his talent for machine-gun pacing and character creation as a panoply of bizarre people parades across the blistering Florida landscape and onto a luxurious ocean liner where anything goes. Don't miss this red-hot radioactive lobster, straight from the pot. R.O.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer comedy, July 24 2008
By Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Dorsey serves up
Serge #10
But as it's my first
I hope you'll humor me
As I enthuse

A Florida setting
Is the stage for
A murderously humorous
Serial killer
With selective morals

Serge,
Anti-hero, ladies man
And a genius
When it comes to
Revenge killings


Indeed, Serge A. Storms is the star of the Dorsey books. Mentally unbalanced and off his meds, he somehow manages to be a likeable character - even when he's devising ingenious ways of killing bad people. In this book he kills at least six people in unique ways, although he's not the only interesting character.

Other characters:

Jim Davenport - Jim and his wife Martha first met Serge ten years before the events of this book. They lived in Triggerfish Lane (another book title in the series) and were survivors of a home invasion by the McGraw Brothers. They have now moved to Lobster Lane, and aren't too pleased to see Serge.

Coleman - Serge's drug-addled sidekick, and dumb as a post, except when it comes to bong-making.

Rachael - Six foot tall professional girl with a drug habit and a heck of a mouth

The G-Unit - Four feisty grannies leading a cruise ship existence while participating in extreme ballroom dancing and illicit boozing

Tex McGraw - McGraw Brother who missed the Triggerfish Lane invasion, and is still sore about it.

Smugglers in white linen and Smugglers in tunics - A game of pass the artifacts involves many leading characters

Johnny Vegas - The Accidental Virgin

Gaylord Wainscotting -Resident of Lobster Lane

Foxtrot - Secret Agent


Dorsey is a genius of comedy and timing, as his characters interlock and intertwine into a story of grand proportions. Recommended for fans of Carl Hiaasen and dark comedies.

Rated: 4.5 stars
