SAMPLE
註釋
Ignored on publication in the US and revered in Russia, Joe Clifford Faust's novels
Ferman's Devils
and
Boddekker's Demons
were a vision of advertising gone mad - decades before Don Draper and his cigarettes made the scene.
Now the novels appear as Faust originally intended - in a single volume that keeps the story's impact between a single set of covers.
In
Fermans Devals
you'll meet a 28 year-old copywriting prodigy who has almost everything he wants – except for a house and the most desirable woman at his advertising agency. The answer to his problems comes in the form of a street gang that he puts in a TV commercial. But everything has its price. Soon the gang is big as The Beatles - only The Beatles didn't leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake.
This new presentation of the story also includes an introduction by the author, along with a bonus novelette that also takes place in the Pembroke Hall universe.
REVIEWS FOR
FERMAN'S DEVILS
“A superior entertainment... [
Ferman's Devils
] may well turn out to be one of the funniest SF satires of recent years, as well as one of the most intelligently plotted and convincingly detailed.” -
Locus
“Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist... fiendishly good.” -
Starlog
“A hilarious journey into the advertising world of the not-too-distant future.” -
Fantasy And Science Fiction
REVIEWS FOR
BODDEKKER'S DEMONS
“Fulfills the promise of
Ferman's Devils
, and the whole Boddekker saga can now take its place as the most important advertising satire since
The Space Merchants
... a mean piece of work, and it’s a delicious meanness.” -
Locus
"
Boddekker's Demons
makes for very light and enjoyable reading." -
SF Site Reviews
"Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist... fiendishly good." –
