THE TIME OF NEW WEATHER IS AT HAND–AND IT’S NOT A PRETTY
SIGHT.
In
this exhilarating adventure of absurdist wit, rollicking
revolution and
romance, the future isn’t what it used to be and the past
won’t leave
us alone. Bringing to mind 1984 and Brave New World–but with
his own
twist of gleeful humor–award-winning author Sean Murphy
presents a
vision of an America gone off the rails: an America where it
literally
rains cats and dogs, where a hubcap ranch is now a National
Preservation Site, where a horde of circus folk and Elvis
fans are on
the rampage–and where some rather suspicious things are
going on with
time and gravity.
Into this world is born Buddy Le
Blanc, a
young boy with a special gift: the ability to perform tiny
miracles.
Nothing big, like raising the dead or curing the sick–more
like an
uncanny knack for finding spare change. He longs to find a
way to make
a difference; but in a world where time and gravity storms
can spring
up at a moment’s notice (sending your belongings hurtling
through the
roof, or off to the Renaissance) and big business has
gobbled up the
U.S. government (now renamed The America Corporation), it’s
hard to get
your foot in the door. But when Buddy joins up with a cast
of fellow
seekers–renegade circus freaks, ragtag revolutionaries, a
woman in
search of her hat, and a particularly gorgeous journalist–in
the hope
of waking America up from its dream, the fate of the country
may just
end up in his not-so-capable hands.…
