CROW Quarterly review: "Exploding atomic bombs
in the Nevada desert in the 50's must have been surreal, but
imagine the personalities involved: eccentric scientists building
bombs and theologies, ambitious military men building armies
and careers, slick politicians, enlisted pawns. If that's not
weird enough for you, sprinkle in flying Cadillac bombs, escalators
to parallel universes, avenging angels, orgasmic blimp rides
through hell, and train rides through the heavens. This work
is cinematic in its sweep and nuclear grandeur, but it's also
put together very much like a film, composed of hundreds of sharp,
telling scenes. In the grand tradition of Pynchon and Heller,
the book is an irreverent collage of absurdity and symbolism."

are in it." --Carl Rhinehart
