About this ebook

In an adhoc family of survival and love, four kids fight and rob their way across civil war-ravaged Denver. At the end of the 20th century the USA has collapsed under the crush of Christian fascism and rapacious corporations. As the UN abandons efforts to stabilize the former-United States, the kids desperately push on through a fiery cityscape toward a twilight mirage of the American Dream.

    Imagine a world where Nancy Reagan is First-Lady-For-Life, a large chunk of the midwestern United States is sold off and turned into a giant pig farm, and Colorado is ruled over by a theocratic Christian cult who kill off thousands of unbelievers in the "Surgical Jesus Mind Project" until the UN finally (sort of) intervenes to stop the bloodshed, at which point a civil war ensues. Meanwhile, what remains of Team Jesus - the religious militia responsible for carrying out the "Surgical Jesus Mind Project" - roam around indiscriminately beating people to death with metal crosses; other cults cut off their own ears and head to Texas for the second coming of Christ.The protagonists are three teenage sumo wrestling fans who try to navigate their way out of that hell, reflecting on pederasty and such as they go. And oh yeah, there's a little cross dressing boy who might be the Messiah.Pretty good book.
