His brain scrambled, Jake tries to clear himself of a murder charge. Jake Pace comes to on the floor of a dungeon, where a robot jailer is killing rats. The last 24 hours are a blank; he doesn’t remember anything since he stepped into his skycar, chasing a tip on the Big Bang murders. For weeks the killings have stumped every officer in the government - costing six of them their lives - but a soprano named Palsy Hatchbacker told Jake she knew something that could break open the case. Before he met Miss Hatchbacker, a carnation-wearing goon spritzed Jake with a memory-wiping spray. When the police found him, he was sleeping peacefully next to Palsy’s corpse, a laser pistol in his hand. While he rots in jail, the Big Bang killer continues his rampage. Only Jake can bring him to justice, but first he must break out of an inescapable jail.

from the back cover: "Science Fiction or Prophesy? "Werewolves in Connecticut? A liberal-conservative revolution? An underground "dirty tricks" squad who rob from the poor to give to the rich? Scandal in the highest political circles?

"It's a wild and wacky satire on today's political climate - to its mind-boggling extreme in a radically different United States ... thirty-odd years from now."

Drie astronauten, vastgeriemd in de neuskegel van de Capricorn I, wachten op de lancering: de eerste ereis naar Mars. De onderneming móet slagen, zo niet, dan zal de Amerikaanse regering geen gelden meer beschikbaar stellen voor de ruimtevaart. Naarmate de aftelprocedure vordert, stijgt de spanning - tot de astronauten plotseling het bevel krijgen de raket te verlaten, en weggevoerd worden naar onbekende bestemming. Ze blijven er laconiek onder en beschouwen het gebeurde als een onbegrijpelijke, maar wel zeert misplaatste grap, totdat het tot hen doordringt dat ze hun verblijfplaats niet meer levend zullen verlaten...

Great scaly dragons roamed the dunes -- unreal beasts resurrected daily in the mirage belt. Illusions created by atmospheric manipulation -- and by magic. For although Esmeralda was a backward world, it had a very real and unusual native art -- witchcraft! Raker of Soldiers of Fortune, Inc. was being paid well to track down the planet's deadly Fire-Eater -- who visited flaming death upon distant enemies.
