This book shouldn't work as well as it does. There's so much randomly thrown together in this volume - Area 51, dinosaurs, time-displaced Algonquin warriors, the Bermuda Triangle, Grey aliens, Ambrose Bierce, satire of US militarism ... and on top of that, our heroes, the gregarious, immortal party guy Armstrong and his partner Archer, the deadly assassin raised by Christian fundamentalists and whom may eventually become the world's greatest spiritual leader.
As I said, there's a lot going on - so much that it's hard to describe it with a straight face. It's to Van Lente's credit that not only does it all make sense together, it all fits together seamlessly and with such a madcap sense of fun.
