Lone Star State: Welcome to the Pleasuredome (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Lone Star State (Book One), of which Lone Star State: Welcome to the Pleasuredome... belongs, contains three main narrative strands: Robyn, a gender ambiguous street-worker in Austin, Texas, lives life for the moment in an attempt to forget the many and regular traumas of the past; Chip Brewsky and Dale Turdlewand, multi-trillionaire tech-company CEOs, believe that they need to buy a country in order to escape from the clutches of oppressive U.S. tax legislation. However, each experiences things which lead to their own respective epiphanies forcing them to rethink their plans; and finally, Mia and Alan Pleasure, sadistic, psychotic and highly dangerous drugs barons who operate out of Manchester, UK., and who happen upon a highly addictive new drug that looks set to make them a fortune as contemporary Western society's obsessive relationship with consumption and the pursuit of pleasure and 'happiness' reaches dangerous, and disturbing, new levels.
