This was an oddly enjoyable read. It's a modern-day action fantasy road trip adventure. A newly widowed middle-aged man who has angrily quit his job at an accounting firm attempts to come to the rescue of a beautiful young woman being mugged by three men on the street. He soon learns that the woman can take care of herself and that she has led a cloistered life training and is on a quest to save a small town in Arizona from a marauding cyclops. One problem is that they are in Florida, and she plans on walking the entire distance to Arizona. Not believing her story makes any rational sense, the man, with nothing to lose, eventually decides to help her by driving her to the destination. Along the way the duo will take side trips to pick up acolytes that the woman is drawn to for them to join them on the quest. Needless to say, nothing goes smoothly, and much violence and death ensues, as forces attempt to impede them from reaching their goal. But what faces them at the end of their journey will test the small group to the limit of their abilities. Though violent, the story is told with wit and humor.
