This book is about as serious as the Ice Pirates was as a film.
Written for those people who have played the game, Extreme Paranoia, this book (and I believe several others) rely on a tongue-in-cheek, ultra campy style. It draws upon the genre of westerns, science fiction, spy-novels, stereotypes and the stories of completely malevolent wall-street brokers of the 1980s. Strangely, time has come around to make both the game and the stories a relevant again.
Need a good, deranged, darkly funny romp? You may well enjoy this. It's also clean reading for young adults.
Remember:
Stay Alert!
Trust No One!
Keep Your Laser Handy!
