Not with a Bang is a story about the invention of a new revolutionary weapon and how it completely destabilizes an already unstable near future America. In the satirical tradition of writers such as Charles Dickens, Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Wolfe, this novel features characters such as a white vigilante appliance repairman, a Vietnamese abducted bride and her abductor haunted by ghosts, a black youth gang practicing voodoo, Adolf Hitler’s son, lesbian mad scientists and even Arab terrorists. Drawing from the mythology and folklore of several cultures, just like America itself, it is a darkly humorous romp through our deepest fears of weapons proliferation and vengeance gone berserk.
