Dormant for eons under the frozen Beaufort Sea, the novel Euphory Virus is unwittingly unearthed by the drilling from an oil prospect. Once discovered, it quickly spreads its curiously positive symptoms. Unlike every other virus humanity has encountered, the symptoms of the Euphory Virus make people feel good instead of bad. In fact, everyone who contracts the Euphory Virus feels great all the time. They feel stupendous. Every day they spring from bed with an overwhelming joie de vivre. As if, as the poet Browing wrote, God were in his heaven, and all was right with the world.
Through comic situations, the novel describes how humanity responds to the Euphory Virus from its discovery until everyone starts dropping dead. Misinformation, political agendas, conspiracy theories, doomsayers, fake news, and anti-science sentiments all battle for credibility as mayhem slowly blossoms throughout the world. The Immunity Man employs many original gags as well as time tested comedic elements from Chaucer, Cervantes, Wodehouse, Twain, and the slapstick greats of the early twentieth century all while following its protagonist, Ellsworth Crow.
You will enjoy The Immunity Man for its originality, gallows humor, sophisticated jocularity, and cheap laughs. Its view of humanity may not always be encouraging, but you will nevertheless root for Ellsworth Crow, The Immunity Man, to make it out alive.Also in
