Bioengineer and sometime surfer Jim Oster's experiments accidentally open a portal between this world and the world of the dead, otherwise known as "The Flimsy," and this results in the death of his wife, Val, and the intrusion of bizarre creatures from that other place. With the help of sexy ice cream parlor clerk Weena, who seems to know all together too much about the Flims, Jim finds a way through his grief and determines to enter the portal and retrieve his wife. Rucker's (The Hollow Earth; Mathematicians in Love) latest sf extravaganza maintains the author's highest standards of outrageousness intelligently displayed, delivering thoughts on life, death, and the business of biotechnology with wild humor and true affection for his characters. VERDICT The author's fans and lovers of dark sf comedy should particularly enjoy this romp through the Orpheus myth.
