Scott Brick handily delivers Barry's zany story of marketing and corporate politics. At age 23 Scat comes up with a million-dollar marketing idea--a Coke for cynics, called Fukk. What is it? Who cares? "Perception is reality." Scat sells the idea to the new marketing director of Coke, a 21-year-old sexpot named Six. Scott Brick, the best narrator in the business, crawls inside this flawed but likable hero and his nutty cohort, giving them the credibility that makes the plot work. The duo battles Scat's evil roommate, Sneaky Pete, who has stolen the product idea, and carries out duels in the corporate boardroom. Brick has a ball bringing these unlikely combatants to a wacky climax. M.T.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
