Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Surrounding every salesman is an aura of desperation, and Fisk Centers is no exception. Getting involved with everything from the illegal adoption racket to death insurance to instant teleportation devices, Centers careens from one disaster to another in this tongue-in-cheek look at the salesman of the future. Anthony's genius for satire comes to the surface in this pithy portrait of tomorrow's Everyman. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, September 8, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Hard Sell (Paperback)

Piers Anthony always writes fun books. This one is one of his funniest and most adventurous novels. He combines many of his older short stories about Fisk Centers and comes up with a truly energetic and cleverly written yarn
