Produktbeschreibung

Mack 's McNaughton family doubts he can finish the abandoned floating home in time to save the family business.

In fact, some of them are counting on it.

It's understandable. The tugboat business on the Columbia River eats fools for breakfast. River dragons prefer cows, cattle, herons, and fish. Meanwhile, dogs love to roll in dead seagulls. People, however, would rather roll themselves in lots and lots of money. Money may be filthy lucre, but it doesn't stink and it makes a lot of things better.

According to Mack McNaughton, his uncle Chauncey Winston may qualify as a predatory megalomaniac, but not as a cow, a steer, or a carp. Therefore, he ought to be safe enough from the local resident river dragon.

The resident river dragon, however, may beg to differ.

Chauncey controls the family business, Winston Tug and Barge. His dreams of glory-his dreams of financial survival, really-include a plan to transform the business from a regional player into an international one. Before time runs out.

Mack, however, holds the key to saving the company, but he ain't buying Chauncey's plans.

The key in question? Nothing less than the ultimate fate of a dilapidated houseboat.

However, the river dragon in this story has his own agenda. He wants to be left alone in peace and quiet. The only broken beer bottle in his stretch of river mud is that his nice, comfy lair is right under the houseboat.

Blending the disparate traditions Bram Stoker, John Jakes, Terry Pratchett, Godzilla, and the Loch Ness Monster, Enoch's Folly brews up both an engaging fantasy and a delightful satire. The result is an unforgettable tapestry of ambition, magic, violence, and love.
