...psyching-up war whoops of All-Star Rightfielder Dave Parker, the ego-deflating insults of Garner and the popping of corks by Team Captain Stargell, the oenophile first baseman. Typical play: a Pirate crashes a three-run home run to win an eleven-inning game. Typical congratulatory byplay: "Way to go, [bleep]!" "Thank you, [bleep]!" Other teams may deem it necessary to fine players to ensure promptness at the ballpark; the Pittsburgh locker room throbs with athletes joining the badinage hours before game time.

After a harrowing indoctrination, "Dads," as the kids call him, finds out that they have blown his cover. He has no choice but to blast his way out, killing all his captors-and nearly blowing his mind. It is the most intense and savage narrative that MacDonald has ever written. As for McGee, he recovers in time quite nicely in the arms of an old flame, en route home to Miss Agnes and The Busted Flush...
