Publisher's Synopsis
Mike Randall is coming of age - 40. It's like a second puberty, not that he remembers the first one. As a result, he's tormented by male-pattern lust, conflicted about his marriage to Melina and, if that wasn't enough, regularly has his self-esteem obliterated by his best (only) friend, and nemesis, Geoff. Worst still, he's a psychologist yet has no remedy for his own mental demise. In the most improbable of circumstances, Mike's quickening slip into midlife madness is circumvented by finally having something useful to do. Being a coward, evader of obstacles and prone to fainting spells, however, becoming a hero comes with a certain level of reluctance, but will Mike be the man for the job? - We'll just have to see.
