Assigned to kill a fellow NSA operative, Agent K stumbles into a secret scheme that threatens to extinguish humankind. When a cross-dressing nun with a penchant for palindromes convinces K to stop being a yes-man and finally determine what's really going on, K sets out to solve the riddle of the dead agent's mysterious papers. Meanwhile, strange natural disasters are killing thousands around the world, including a bloody stampede of beasts from Yellowstone National Park. As K hunts for the truth-reuniting with his estranged sister, tripping on peyote with his Irish brother-in-law, and seeking guidance from a Shoshone Shaman who worships Michael Jordan-he is surprised to find love along the way...though his relationship may not turn out quite the way he hopes. A rollicking adventure laced with dark humor and ominously relevant insights, Clarion Call of the Last Kallus is also a clever ode to the lipogram: as the story unravels, so does the alphabet-killing off certain letters from the remaining pages of the book. Whether you're looking for ingenious linguistic literature, an epic tale, a puzzling mystery, or a witty, philosophical spy novel, this is one book you don't want to miss.
