Crash Gordon and the Revelations from Big Sur by Derek Swannson

Is the increase in suffering intentional? Gordon Swannson thinks so-and he has the metaphysics to prove it. It's been a non-stop champagne bash for the rich, who've become much richer, but for the middle class and the poor the trickling has acted like acidic piss, burning gaping holes in their social safety nets. Ronald Reagan's trickle-down economics has been trickling upon the American populace for nearly eight years. Intelligence agency black budgets are on the rise. Bush is calling the shots as Vice President. OCTOBER 1988: It's morning in America again. In Crash Gordon and the Revelations from Big Sur, Derek Swannson combines these elements into a comic and subversive international thriller. A notorious starlet attending the wrap party for her first major Hollywood movie assassinates a Moscow journalist with a bottle of radioactive nasal spray. A stoned surfer trespassing on Hearst Castle property gets hauled up into the sky by a massive flying black triangle.

An amnesiac convalescing in Big Sur encounters an oddly sinister envoy from the Freemasons' Scottish Rite Psychophrenic Research Program.
