A Murder of Manatees

Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent #2

by Larry Correia

Entertaining, great Baldwin performance, politically heavy handed, but good.


I found the first chapter very difficult to get through, but I was busy cleaning the house so I left it on. I'm glad I did because from chapter 2 onward, the book is quite entertaining.


When one of his top clients (a CFO Manatee) is kidnapped, Tom Stranger has to rescue him or else face a multi-dimensional war and a mountain of claims paperwork. Luckily, Tom is the James Bond of Interdimensional Insurance. Obsessed with customer satisfaction and professionalism, there's nothing Tom wouldn't do to ensure a five-star review. That includes fist-fighting dolphins and wrestling husky velociraptors.


Aiding him on his mission (sort of? accidentally?) is his hipster intern, Jimmy, and badass secretary, Murph. Jimmy the Intern is a good foil for Tom. They're an entertaining duo. Baldwin does great voices for each character so it's easy to tell who is saying what.


If you like multidimensional hijinks, this one is probably worth a listen.
