“You don’t need omnipotence to rule the Practiverse… just the threat of it.”

– Sweet Baby Ray

Amid a new era of prosperity in the Practiverse, the Practical Forecasters prepare for the Vorld Expo, a groundbreaking technology convention organized by the Duprin Labs and a cryptic new corporation known as RayTech. The Expo draws many eccentric attendees, including two bright young college students who remember only their names: Flipper and Evil Dr. Thorax.

When intertwined catastrophes rock the Vorld Expo and RayTech headquarters in the city of Grandiose, it becomes clear that dark forces are pulling the strings. Featuring eleven-gallon cowboy hats, charcuterie parties, unusually cheesy mercenaries, Global Positioning Systems, out-of-control monorails, strangely static bridges, and everything in between, this novel sets the stage for the epic final question of the Practiverse saga: who will survive the rise of Flippertown, and who will be doomed to eternal stagnation?
