Wild and crazy fantasy adventure, described as a cross between "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Twilight Zone." A young man's grandfather mysteriously disappears- was he abducted by Them- the cryptic group both of them have long suspected control the world?
The Unreals is part fairy tale, part conspiracy manifesto. Filled with obscure and fascinating historical tidbits, offbeat characters and refreshingly candid social observations, it's a rollicking tale in the best tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon.
Waldo Billingsly is a lonely twenty something man who lives with his grandfather. When the old man vanishes without a trace, leaving only a strange note behind, he must face all his fears and confront the forces he has only read about. He eventually assembles a most unconventional search party, and they embark for Iowa, where Waldo believes his grandfather has gone to visit an old friend at a notorious mental institution. Along the way they encounter an assortment of decidedly "unreal" entities and settle down on a farm that features a time-traveling cornfield.
If you like 1984 and Brave New World, or the classic sci-fi trilogy Illuminatus, you will love The Unreals.
5-star Review on Amazon: "A terrific read about a very disturbing subject!! The book is exciting and interesting and chilling and alarming! A literary ride that is well worth the time and money."
