Marriage, corruption, and rubber babes - Rollo Hemphill's life just went from awkward to illegal.
Rollo Hemphill thought he'd won the jackpot - married to the woman of his dreams and newly minted director of a suspiciously generous charity. But bliss turns to blunder when his assistant proves both too beautiful and too helpful, and his philanthropic work at the Keppelhoffer Foundation turns out to be a front for a baffling international scam involving erectile dysfunction, Big Pharma, and dirty politics.
As Rollo fumbles through marital meltdowns and seductive office encounters, he also begins to uncover a dark corporate secret that could land him in prison - or worse, in therapy. His growing paranoia is justified, especially when he realizes he's the fall guy for a billion-euro money-laundering scheme disguised as medical research.
With his signature blend of clueless charm and accidental brilliance, Rollo stumbles, gropes, and hacks his way through a mess of sex, lies, and scandal. Rubber Babes is a biting comic romp through the absurdities of modern masculinity, marriage, and nonprofit corruption. Fans of Woody Allen, Nick Hornby, or Larry David will laugh, cringe, and maybe even cheer as Rollo tries to stay out of jail and in someone's good graces.
In the end, it's not about whether Rollo will win. It's about how he will cope with continuing to fail ever upward!
This is the hilarious sequel to My Inflatable Friend and the warm-up to the disastrous Farnsworth's Revenge.
Gerald Jones takes puerile to new levels. Just when you thought Rollo was deepening into a rich and thoughtful character, he reminds us exactly what he's made of. 'Rubber Babes' is a clever, hysterical, and fun romp which you can read fast, and enjoy secretly. Just don't tell your feminist friends.

Rollicking Rollo is back in action! He's a walking, talking warning about the pitfalls of being a genius. As you follow his merry way into and out of absurdity, you will find yourself looking in a mirror. Learn from Rollo--the only fun teacher of life lessons you will ever meet.
-- Thomas Page, author of The Hephaestus Plague
This is a very funny book by a skilled and confident author. The further adventures of Rollo Hemphill are a welcome respite from the real world but one definitely gets the impression that Jones is making a lot of it up. -- Morrie Ruvinsky, novelist/screenwriter/film director
Woody Allen meets Nick Hornby in this hilarious beach read. Gerald Everett Jones, who is every bit as clever as Larry David (and has more hair!), has created a witty, literate George Costanza for us to savor. NBC, are you paying attention? -- Paula Berinstein, producer and host of The Writing Show podcast, http: //www.writingshow.com
