About the Book

We've all had bad days, but nothing compares to Trip Torrent's. PR director of the luxury cruise ship Climax of Dreams, he awakens to the discovery that the ship's owners have donated it to house 4,000 squabbling refugees. Then, at a celebrity-glutted fundraiser, it gets hijacked. And that's only the beginning! Torrent's reluctant sea voyage includes seminude female commandos, a secret stash of special ops weapons, a billion-dollar cloud of money, a kidnapped tech guru, a ship navigation system with a dangerous stutter, a soccer match haunted by Navy drones and fighter jets, a faded comic whose skills at mimicry could save or sink the ship, an unexpected global fashion craze, a double-dealing repairman, and a whopping big hurricane. Even his attempts at romance are interrupted-by the synthetic charms of a robot bartender with a bit too much charisma! What will blow up first: his career, his relationship, or the ship?

About the Author :
To make money, James Terminiello spent forty-plus years in marketing, public relations, and communications. To salve his soul in a family wracked by Alzheimer's, autism, and dementia, he has authored six books and contributed to a compilation of film reviews, Seen That, Now What. He has also written more than 150 columns for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Courier Post, and other publications, and blogs on subjects ranging from the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris to Victorian Christmases. He has been married to Tara for thirty-seven years. His son, Alex, suffers from autism, and he has a daughter, Gillian.

Review :
"James Terminiello's novel is off-beat from page one, with its trippy words, turns of phrases, and clever commentary on contemporary American life. Not only is his storytelling style unique, but so are his characters. . . . Terminiello certainly does a thorough job of smartly injecting humor throughout the narrative and the dialogue. The quirky characters and the storyline that keep the reader guessing at every turn are perfectly paired partners in this dance of a tale, where we don't know what the next step will be. . . . "Satire forces us to look long and hard at the world we live in and ask questions. Humor, although entertaining, at its core laughs at the absurd because it's just that, absurd, and humor brings such truth to light. Terminiello's brave choice to write satire is commendable, but it may not be for everyone. . . . "The Conscience of the C.O.D. is a clever satirical commentary on today's society. Its humor and unexpected plot turns will keep readers who love a quick, witty read turning the pages. For people who enjoy a good laugh and thinking deeply about various subjects, James Terminiello's novella is a solid choice." -The Book Review Directory "Terminiello skillfully blends suspense, action, romance, and comedy. . . . The novel's humor shines as one of its core strengths. . . . Terminiello's satire is particularly effective, offering a clever critique wrapped in humor that might not suit all tastes but stands out for its incisiveness. Action sequences in the book are vivid and engaging, with Terminiello's detailed prose ensuring that readers remain riveted. The strategic intricacies of a naval maneuver and the ethical quandaries faced by the characters are portrayed with a compelling clarity that effectively balances the narrative's humorous and tense moments. "The Conscience of the C.O.D. offers an absorbing mix of laughter and adrenaline, making it a delightful pick for readers who enjoy a dynamic blend of humor and suspense. While Terminiello's distinctive comedic style may vary in appeal, his sharp wit and engaging storytelling craft a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience." -Literary Titan
