An all-new story designed to take a poke at both Christian fundamentalists and corporate CEOs, Raising Hell' is a rousing account of the fight to improve working conditions in Hell, with the help of such deceased immortals as Jimmy Hoffa, John L. Lewis and Cesar Chavez. 'The Abnormal New Normal', which casts a cold and razor-sharp eye on current trends in popular culture, shows how they reflect the domination of the one percent and suggests a radical fix. Also featured is PM Press' Outspoken Interview, the usual mix of intimate revelation, insight and outright lies.'

The year is 1531. In a small hut on the slopes of the volcano Popocateptl, scholar and poet Alvaro de Sevilla reflects on his extraordinary life. For Alvaro was one of the small army of conquistadors who, some years earlier, set out to conquer an empire. Hernando Cortes was proclaimed a reincarnation of the god Quetzacoatl shortly after his arrival in the New World, and he took advantage and forced his way to the capital city. There he met Montezuma, the Aztec Emperor, who at first welcomed the conquistadors to his city, showering them with gold. But it was an encounter between two civilizations that could only end in chaos, death, and destruction.

About a hundred years from now, pollution, overpopulation, and ecological disasters have left the rich nations still rich, and the poor nations--the Lands of the Lost--slowly strangling in drought and pollution. New York City is below sea level, surrounded by a seawall. The climate in Paris is much like the twentieth-century climate of long-drowned New Orleans. And Siberia, Golden Siberia, is the crop-land of the world.Still, for the international corporations and businesses who make a profit on technofixing the environment--the Big Blue Machine--it is business as sell what you can where you can whenever you can. It is better to be rich. But it all may be coming to a terrible a scientist has predicted Condition Venus, the sudden greenhouse downfall of the entire planet--but she can't say when.So now the attention of the world is focused for a week on a UN conference on the Environment in Paris, where all hell is about to break loose.

TV megastar Jack Barron hosts the wildly popular <i>Bug Jack Barron</i>, a phone-in show that listens to public gripes &amp; puts politicians &amp; bosses on the spot - live. Naturally Barron pulls his punches for safety's sake - until he tangles with paranoid billionaire Benedict Howards, peddler of cryonic immortality, and walks into a minefield of deadly cover-ups. Violence erupts. Howards believes he can buy anyone, even Barron's estranged wife, even Barron. Barron doesn't mind selling out if the coin is immortality. On TV, the power remains his. The Foundation's medical secret is more appalling than Barron's nastiest guesses. By the time he learns the truth he's ensnared in complicity. Worse things follow. At the climax, with nothing left to lose, our man goes for broke in a desperate effort to crack Howards open in Barron's own glowing TV arena, in front of 100 million viewers.
