Crash Dummies
( Marty Kayo has a hunch about the universe and his desti...)
Marty Kayo has a hunch about the universe and his destiny in it. His hunch may be right. But his new job as elite courier has dropped him in a mine-field of betrayal in Honduras. Somebody's painted a target on his back. Everybody wants something this courier's got. Yet nobody can identify Marty...except the contract killers sent to murder him. Marty's fate will be linked to a pair of hazy heroes whose spy craft resembles dual personality disorder, a crackpot physicist with a curiously missing cat, a lost codex with instructions for time travel, and a vengeful Mayan sorceress with some serious baggage. Though no one suspects...the past is about to catch up with everyone. Edgy and entertaining, Crash Dummies defies categorization: its audacious plot and crystal prose parody formulas of spy thriller, romance and sci-fi fantasy, skewering social classes, the Cold War, alternate universes, Mayan esoteric knowledge and American hubris. Funny, provocative, sordid and steamy, Crash Dummies is a wild ride through a Twilight Zone of Americana, replete with jilted agents and jaded heroines, murky heroes and supercilious mobsters; a postmodern parable of a nation tilting at windmills; a garish tableau of clashing cultures and crashing civilizations, madness and time travel--crowned by a gloss on the Maya that is worthy of Orson Welles.
