Official synopsis Publisher
The United States and its Freedom Coalition allies are conducting serial invasions across the globe, including an attack on the anti-capitalist rebels of Northern California. The Middle East—now a single consumerist Caliphate led by Lebanese pop singer Caliph Fred—is in an uproar after an attack on the al-Aqsa Mosque gets televised on the Holy Land Channel.
The world is on the brink of a total radioactive, no-survivors war, and humankind’s last hope is Eliot R. Vanderthorpe, Jr., celebrity heir, debauched party animal, and Elvis impersonation scholar. But Eliot’s got his own problems. His evangelical dad is breeding red heifers in anticipation of the Rapture. Eliot’s dissertation is in the toilet. And he has a doppelgänger. An evil doppelgänger.
