In the festering sewers below a darker game is afoot: a Wall Street takeover artist has been murdered, and Gant's crusading ex-wife, Joan Fine, has been hired to find out why. The year is 2023, and Ayn Rand has been resurrected and bottled in a hurricane lamp to serve as Joan's assistant; an eco-terrorist named Philo Dufrense travels in a pink-and-green submarine designed by Howard Hughes; a Volkswagen Beetle is possessed by the spirit of Abbey Hoffman; Meisterbrau, a mutant great white shark, is running loose in the sewers beneath Times Square; and a one-armed 181-year-old Civil War veteran joins Joan and Ayn in their quest for the truth. All of whom, and many more besides, are caught up in a vast conspiracy involving Walt Disney, J. Edgar Hoover, and a mob of homicidal robots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA post-millennial spectacular-dizzyingly readable. -Thomas Pynchon\" A turbocharged neo-Dickensian hot rod [with] plenty of intellectual horsepower.\" -Neal Stephenson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Ruff\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three novels, \u003ci\u003eFool on the Hill\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSewer, Gas \u0026amp; Electric: The Public Works Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSet This House in Order: A Romance of Souls\u003c\/i\u003e.
