Acts of God While on Vacation Richard Tillotson

ACTS OF GOD WHILE ON VACATION begins with a death threat received by a philandering general manager of a lavish Hawaii resort, jumps to an anthropologist researching headhunters in the jungles of Borneo, then to a demonic, scandal-mongering paparazzo in New York, and on to a gorgeous, party-loving English aristocrat in London. Alternately desperate and hilarious adventures draw them all to Waikiki, where their arrival coincides with an international conference on shamanism and a catastrophic, force-five hurricane. ?A rollicking page-turner ? This is Hawaii?s best fiction book of 2011.? - HONOLULU STAR-ADVERTISER ?A shamanically-skewed romp of brilliant insight and slapstick comedy? - HAWAII PUBLIC RADIO ?As entertaining as it is enlightening? - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ?Laugh-out-loud funny, while also ringing true? - HONOLULU WEEKLY ?It?s a comic novel with serious edges. Even more remarkable: It?s one of the few fictions set in Hawaii that gets all the details right.? - HONOLULU MAGAZINE
