The Acts of the Compassionates

Front Cover
Bayeux Arts, 2004 - Fiction - 163 pages

The Acts of the Compassionates: "The pleasures of this novel come from the absurd situations, the baroque language and the passing shots at everything from gay marriage to wardrobe malfunctions. How the author manages to hit so many topics, on so many cylinders, in a scant 164 pages, makes this news editor weep with fraternal pride." -- Allen Voivod in Deadbrain.com.

George Bush is thought to be on a "mission to Mars," in search of dragons. Compelled by visions and prophecies, Richard the Unabashed (Cheney) and Don Carlos Borracha (Rumsfeld) then convince the rest of the Compassionates and the Kikbutzin (American) people to conquer the evil Kizhands (Iraqis) and their despicable King Subman (Saddam Hussein).
