Produktbeschreibung

GOLD, GIRLS, and EGYPTIAN GODS await WWII American POW Harold Barton as he unwittingly enters the bizarre world of Nazi chemical warfare experiment Project Brainfire in this 98K word novel. The project's aim--to conquer England by exploding V-2 rockets filled with mind-altering Reichedelics over London.

Harold's secret nightly chemical tests, courtesy Gestapo heavy Doctor Meister, catapult him out of his body, where he encounters Egyptian god Horus, who enlists him to reclaim the gold the Nazis stole from him.

Three sisters arrive at the Bavarian villa hosting Project Brainfire and soon Harold and Lisa, the elder sister, join forces in both love and mystery. Together, they try to unravel the secret of Project Brainfire going on all around them.

Their world expands when all enter Harold's netherworld, where some visit Past Life data banks of the Nephthys Academy of Polychronic Science, and new RAF friends rack up freeplays on the Lancaster Gunner game at the Andromeda Arcade.

A handful of Earthlings, an Egyptian god, a trio of RAF flyboys, and a threesome of gorgeous female Bots from Khepera II join fates to save England and overcome the perils of Project Brainfire.

Autorenporträt

As a boy in Canada, it seemed like time travel to regularly watch Sunday afternoon American WWII documentaries hosted by Walter Cronkite on my family's black&white TV.

Being Canadian, hockey was in my blood. It was frozen backyard rinks in winter. Worn-out front lawns in summer. And every wintry Saturday night was "Hockey Night In Canada".

In my teens, the TV was now color, and the war news was the British Invasion. Led by those famous four mop tops The Beatles.

Coming of age in the psychedelic 60s, I became aware of the changes in consciousness possible through the influence of mind-altering chemicals.

Culturally, I was drawn to ancient Egypt with its pantheon of magical gods such as Osiris, Isis, and Horus. A German-born friend schooled me in the musical genius of Ludwig van Beethoven.

Novels like Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five", Heller's "Catch-22", and my favorite, Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" showed me that an author could write about actual WWII history, and combine it with more imaginative scenarios and events.

No wonder, then, that my debut novel "Project Brainfire" is a crazy salad of all the above influences, liberally doused with a humorous dressing.
