Sangamon Taylor's a New Age Sam Spade who sports a wet suit instead of a trench coat and prefers Jolt from the can to Scotch on the rocks. He knows about chemical sludge the way he knows about evil - all too intimately. And the toxic trail he follows leads to some high and foul places.

Before long, Taylor's house is bombed, his every move followed, he's adopted by reservation Indians, moves onto the FBI's most wanted list, makes up with his girlfriend, and plays a starring role in the near-assassination of a presidential candidate. Closing the case with the aid of his burnout roommate, his tofu-eating comrades, three major networks, and a range of unconventional weaponry, Sangamon Taylor pulls off the most startling caper in Boston Harbor since the Tea Party.

As he navigates this ecological thriller with hardboiled wit and the biggest outboard motor he can get his hands on, Taylor reveals himself as one of the last of the white-hatted good guys in a very toxic world

I have read this book two or three times before trying the audiobook. I found it to be one of the authors most approachable and humourous works(I once read a terrific review of his works entitled 'Tackling Mount Stephenson') . I really liked the way I felt entertained and educated at the same time.
Ax Norman captured the essence of the protagonist much as I imagined him to be.

The story was enthralling enough that I went out of my way to keep listening. Kept me guessing right until the end. Although, Stephenson's best work is still Snow Crash, in my opinion, this is very high up there as well.

Excellent book, excellent narration
