Carl Hiaasen (born March 12, 1953) is an American journalist, columnist, and novelist. After becoming an investigative reporter, Hiaasen began writing novels. His first three were co-authored with fellow journalist William Montalbano: Powder Burn (1981), Trap Line (1982), and A Death in China (1984). His first solo novel, Tourist Season (1986), featured a group of eco-warriors who kidnap the Orange Bowl Queen. The book's main character was whimsically memorialized by Jimmy Buffett in "The Ballad of Skip Wiley." In all, eighteen of Hiaasen's novels and nonfiction books have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller lists. His work has been translated into 34 languages. Hiaasen is also noted as the person who helped bring the young adult fantasy novel Eragon to the public. The book, written by Christopher Paolini, was self-published and self-promoted without much attention until it came to the notice of Hiaasen's wife, Fenia, in 2002, during a trip to Montana. Hiaasen immediately recommended the novel to one of his editors at the publishing house Alfred A. Knopf. The book went on to become an astounding success, marking the start of a series that sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Native Tongue is a novel by Carl Hiaasen, published in 1991. Like all his novels, it is set in Florida. The themes of the novel include corruption, environmentalism, exploitation of endangered species, and animal rights. Joe Winder is a journalism dropout employed to compose press releases for the Amazing Kingdom, a Florida-based theme park that aspires to achieve the greatness of Disney World. The park is owned by a former "wise guy" whose court testimony forced him to seek refuge in the Federal Witness Protection Program. A new identity and a change of venue, however, did nothing to alter the morals of Francis X. Kingsbury. He thinks nothing of faking wildlife exhibits, destroying the fragile environment of the Florida Keys, or using lethal means to protect his nefarious schemes from public exposure. When an equally amoral environmentalist resolves to thwart Kingsbury's designs. Winder comes out of retirement as an investigative reporter to attempt to rescue the last of a near-extinct species. He finds himself in alliance with an ex-governor seeking absolution in the life of a hermit, law enforcement officials with a peculiar sense of justice, two of the most bumbling burglars ever to circumvent an alarm system, and an incredibly bloodthirsty senior citizen. This motley group, with the assistance of a contract killer sent by the mob to eliminate Kingsbury, put paid to those who would damage the environment and subvert the democratic process. Joe Winder, formerly an investigative reporter, now works as a highly paid writer for the public relations department of "The Amazing Kingdom of Thrills," a theme park located on North Key Largo. His dulled investigative instincts are roused by the theft of two "Blue Tongued Mango Voles" from the park's "Rare Animal Pavilion." Winder's boss, Charles Chelsea, discourages him from looking into the theft, but Winder secretly questions Dr. Will Koocher, the young biologist hired to supervise the captive breeding of the endangered voles. The Amazing Kingdom's founder and owner is Francis X. Kingsbury, f.k.a. Frankie King, a convicted racketeer relocated to Florida as part of the Witness Protection Program after testifying against several mid-level members of the John Gotti crime family. The theft of the mango voles was commissioned by Molly McNamara, the elderly founder of a small environmentalist group, the "Mothers of Wilderness." Unfortunately, the two burglars she hired, Bud Schwartz and Danny Pogue, were careless with the voles during the getaway, and both animals were killed. Furious, Molly gives both of the burglars non-fatal gunshot wounds with a pistol she keeps in her handbag, and announces that they have just joined the Mothers of Wilderness, remaining in her employ for future moves against Kingsbury. In the epilogue, the Falcon Trace property is acquired by outside investors with plans to continue the development, but the project is halted when the Mothers of Wilderness report a sighting of two more of the presumed-extinct "Mango Voles" in the nearby woods. The land, and the remains of the Amazing Kingdom, are replanted and eventually incorporated into the nearby nature preserve., Alfred A. Knopf, 1991, 3<

The land, and the remains of the Amazing Kingdom, are replanted and eventually incorporated into the nearby nature preserve., Alfred A. Knopf, 1991, 3<

New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1991. Second printing before publication. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. [10], 325, [1] p. Stamp of former owner inside front cover. Inscribed on half-title. Carl Hiaasen (born March 12, 1953) is an American journalist, columnist, and novelist. After becoming an investigative reporter, Hiaasen began writing novels. His first three were co-authored with fellow journalist William Montalbano: Powder Burn (1981), Trap Line (1982), and A Death in China (1984). His first solo novel, Tourist Season (1986), featured a group of eco-warriors who kidnap the Orange Bowl Queen. The book's main character was whimsically memorialized by Jimmy Buffett in "The Ballad of Skip Wiley." In all, eighteen of Hiaasen's novels and nonfiction books have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller lists. His work has been translated into 34 languages. Hiaasen is also noted as the person who helped bring the young adult fantasy novel Eragon to the public. The book, written by Christopher Paolini, was self-published and self-promoted without much attention until it came to the notice of Hiaasen's wife, Fenia, in 2002, during a trip to Montana. Hiaasen immediately recommended the novel to one of his editors at the publishing house Alfred A. Knopf. The book went on to become an astounding success, marking the start of a series that sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Native Tongue is a novel by Carl Hiaasen, published in 1991. Like all his novels, it is set in Florida. The themes of the novel include corruption, environmentalism, exploitation of endangered species, and animal rights. Joe Winder is a journalism dropout employed to compose press releases for the Amazing Kingdom, a Florida-based theme park that aspires to achieve the greatness of Disney World. The park is owned by a former "wise guy" whose court testimony forced him to seek refuge in the Federal Witness Protection Program. A new identity and a change of venue, however, did nothing to alter the morals of Francis X. Kingsbury. He thinks nothing of faking wildlife exhibits, destroying the fragile environment of the Florida Keys, or using lethal means to protect his nefarious schemes from public exposure. When an equally amoral environmentalist resolves to thwart Kingsbury's designs. Winder comes out of retirement as an investigative reporter to attempt to rescue the last of a near-extinct species. He finds himself in alliance with an ex-governor seeking absolution in the life of a hermit, law enforcement officials with a peculiar sense of justice, two of the most bumbling burglars ever to circumvent an alarm system, and an incredibly bloodthirsty senior citizen. This motley group, with the assistance of a contract killer sent by the mob to eliminate Kingsbury, put paid to those who would damage the environment and subvert the democratic process. Joe Winder, formerly an investigative reporter, now works as a highly paid writer for the public relations department of "The Amazing Kingdom of Thrills," a theme park located on North Key Largo. His dulled investigative instincts are roused by the theft of two "Blue Tongued Mango Voles" from the park's "Rare Animal Pavilion." Winder's boss, Charles Chelsea, discourages him from looking into the theft, but Winder secretly questions Dr. Will Koocher, the young biologist hired to supervise the captive breeding of the endangered voles. The Amazing Kingdom's founder and owner is Francis X. Kingsbury, f.k.a. Frankie King, a convicted racketeer relocated to Florida as part of the Witness Protection Program after testifying against several mid-level members of the John Gotti crime family. The theft of the mango voles was commissioned by Molly McNamara, the elderly founder of a small environmentalist group, the "Mothers of Wilderness." Unfortunately, the two burglars she hired, Bud Schwartz and Danny Pogue, were careless with the voles during the getaway, and both animals were killed. Furious, Molly gives both of the burglars non-fatal gunshot wounds with a pistol she keeps in her handbag, and announces that they have just joined the Mothers of Wilderness, remaining in her employ for future moves against Kingsbury. In the epilogue, the Falcon Trace property is acquired by outside investors with plans to continue the development, but the project is halted when the Mothers of Wilderness report a sighting of two more of the presumed-extinct "Mango Voles" in the nearby woods.
