Synopsis

All Bob Dillon ever wanted was a truck with a big fiberglass bug on the roof. All he had to do was survive half a dozen assassination attempts, pull a $10 million con on a Bolivian drug lord, and then fall off the face of the earth with his family and his new best friend, Klaus. Six years later, in The Exterminators, they surface in Oregon where they continue Bobs work creating an allnatural means of pest control. But now, instead of crossbreeding different strains of assassin bugs, theyre using advanced gene sequencers to consolidate the perfect insectkilling traits into one deadly bug. Theres only one problem: with all of this seriously expensive DNA tampering, theyre running low on funds. The venturecapital outfit that wants to invest turns out to be a front for DARPA, the Department of Defense agency charged with research and development of exotic weapons. It seems the US government wants to enlist Bob, Klaus, and the bugs in the war on terror. Oh, and did we mention unlimited funding? With an offer too good to refuse, they move to Los Angeles and get to work. Things go swimmingly until that Bolivian drug lord discovers he was conned out of his $10 million. Vowing revenge, he offers $20 million to whoever kills Bob and Klaus. Some of the worlds best assassins descend on Hollywood, and before you can say Its an honor just to be nominated, the weirdness level reaches apocalyptic heights. Its a battle pitting the Far Right against the Far Left with Bob stuck in the middle and subjected to some serious post9/11 thinking.

Goodreads review by Skip

A sequel to Fitzhugh's hilarious book, Pest Control. Unfortunately, nowhere near as entertaining from a plot perspective and without all of the clever musical references too. Bob Dillon and his new partner, former assassin Klaus Muller, are trying to breed bugs for a green solution to pesticides. Th......more

Goodreads review by Sid

I enjoyed The Exterminators a lot and I think it’s even better than Pest Control. It is witty, exciting and full of wry satire. This time, Bob and Klaus have been successfully living under cover in Oregon for several years, avoiding the drug lord who thinks they are dead. An agent of the Government’s......more
