If you’re wondering if this book is worth your time, this Uncharitable Rant will explain why it is the only book for you, the Average Reader:

“Almost all books are stupid, or else they are too smart. This is the only book ever written that is just right for you, the Average Reader. You’re a busy person. If you wanted to have fun, you’d be bowling.  But you wanted to read. You wanted your mind stimulated. You’re not a dummy, and you don’t have time  for pointless dribble about goof gals, schlip schlop, or gum drop grandmas. You need to reflect on the serious issues of the day, like how anti-civilizational warlords would view themselves in relation to anti-civilization mass murdering robots. But who’s got time for philosophy? Who wants to sit down and listen to Professor Gibber-Jabber blabber on about, “according to the vectronic principle of robotic aptitude, there’s a 90% chance that the symbolic quadrant of the psychic field would fold back in on itself, given enough time and perspicacity?” I’m already lost, and I’m the one who wrote it!

“That stuff’s not for us. We’re not a bunch of squares. Folks like us need a real book. We need poetry with pointless archaisms about dudes falling in love with shepherdesses. We need to drift away in the dream of medieval anarchism, shudder at the sight of human sacrifice, and chew the cud of surreal dream sequences. That’s what we like. Just normal stuff for average folks like us. Books today are too fancy, or else too crass. This one is just right. I’m glad you found it. So take my hand, dear Average Reader, and fly with me into a Land of Amazement!”

A special thanks to Brendan Heard of aureus-press.com for this fantastic hand painted book cover. Though the crazy mix of poetry and monologue makes this book different from a traditional pulp novel, I have always loved the look of classic scifi covers and was excited to find an artist working in that style.

Still not convinced? Read the back cover. This book has everything you want, and my fake quotes have already declared it to be a life-changing enduring classic!

That’s right folks, finally a pulp sci-fi novel/poetic dialogue/religious allegory/brooding monologue on existential despair/hopeful vision of the ascetic life that will instantly solve all your problems!
