All Ye Zombies
In the small town of New Davenport, Connecticut, Spencer Ulysses Murdoch and Rachel Eleanor Labonde are beginning to recover their memories. Embarking upon a journey where the sleepy ooze of allegiance is being washed from their eyes, they are citizens of a new World Order who want for nothing. It is an Age where every citizen is assured that upon death, there will be no regrets; where no individual's purpose under the sun will ever be left undone. Helping to expose this New Programmed Age, are the calculated efforts of an infamous New Age prophet who has come to knock the New World Order off its programmed foundations. His divine tactics are threatening to return the global populace to uncensored thought and unrestrained free will. In a world that has done away with the worst in humankind remain the lifeblood questions of ethics, culture, status, success, science, sex, politics, the media and faith. It is with great satirical enthusiam that Victor Theory asks the poetic are we Zombies of the best kind, or should we be fully awakened to the dark and profound thoughts of our own God-given human minds?

Answers the seldom-asked question: "What if George Orwell had been a talentless hack?"
Seriously, the author tried his hand at a 1984-ish novel of social commentary and the evils of government, but was far too clumsy. The evils of "The New World Order" become laughable rather than menacing, as one of the things they had done was to simply add the word "New" to everything. New Davenport, New Los Angeles, New Huntington Beach, New Stonehenge. Oddly, New York City didn't become New New York City. I guess the author had some limits...
Somehow the world government broadcasts vague mind-controllish stuff into everyone's brains most of the time. News broadcasts are all fluffy stuff and sex appeal, totally unlike now of course...The same world government has erased the past, in terms of literature, history, religion, all for purposes that are never quite clear. The book repeatedly suggests that there are individuals with special powers and abilities, but these end up being clumsy plot devices.
Then, there are the sex scenes. Even those are forced and unbelievable, and frankly a little boring.
I was given this book by the author, autographied to me at a conference. It turned out not to have been worth the luggage space.
