Book Description
The Red Pines, the private school that Marty Devereaux and Hank Lundrigan built, is being hailed as a model. But horizons are limited in the remote if booming St. John's, Newfoundland, of 1999. The time has come for Marty to take his particular brand of education to the global market. But obstacles and distractions abound.
The Nine Planets is hilarious, ultra-smart and deliciously nasty. Riche gleefully punctures the hot-air balloons of small-town corruption, intellectual pretension, and political correctness - all the while stunning the reader with his moral brawn. This is satire of laser precision, satire at its very best.
