Aided by a posse of Santa Cruz surf-punks--one of whom keeps an Egyptian mummy in his basement, and may also be a serial killer--Jim plunges into a mad series of adventures in the afterworld--where he just might be able to find his wife and bring her back to life. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNight Shade Books' ten-volume series with Rudy Rucker collects nine of the brilliantly weird novels for which the mathematician-turned-author is known, as well as a tenth, never-before-published book, \u003ci\u003eMillion Mile Road Trip\u003c\/i\u003e.
