Troubleshooters: The Longest Joke Ever Told Ian Thomas Healy

LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG, LEAVE A GOOD-LOOKING CORPSE. Such is the credo of the modern mercenary in the economic downturn of the late 2040s. Three such antiheroes are brought together by a billionaire for a unique search-and-retrieval mission. If they succeed, they'll walk away free and clear with a big fat payday. But if they fail . . . well, things will go badly for them. Their quest will take them to the far corners of the Earth, from central Australia to Brazil to the Eastern European miconation of Borlovia, all in search of one of the world's rarest treasures: the elusive and collectible TIS bottle. Three bottles, three chances to succeed . . . or fail. What could possibly go wrong?
