A cowardly simian in the White House, dopey ex-presidents, scary televangelists, assassinations, cute little monkeys, sinister old men with long, sharp teeth, and in the middle of it all, Malcolm Erskine, who thought he had such a clever idea and who also thought he could safely ignore the politics of Bush-era America. Malcolm is an unsuccessful science fiction writer with an overly high opinion of himself. He yearns for fame and fortune. He wants his books to sell the way the flood of New Age woo-woo books and business self-help books do. Then he has his great idea. He writes a book of nonsensical business advice that he claims was beamed into his mind telepathically by the spirit of a top-level alien corporate executive who lived long ago in a galaxy far away. His book, Business Secrets from the Stars, is a monster success. But success is a monster that threatens to destroy Malcolm. He hasn't just changed his own life. He's changed the world, and not for the better. "A broad and bitter political satire. I was laughing out loud." - The Denver Post "Dvorkin has a savage wit, and he employs it relentlessly." - Analog Magazine
