Excerpt from HOW THE WIND DEMON BEEN SAVE' THE WORLD
______________________________________________ "Terra Earth is
sleeping now in Father Sun's warm embrace. Her Magnetosphere bends
against the Solar Wind like a dragon's armored back, whiskers and
tail sweeping outward, beyond the orbit of the Tombstone Moon; her
great claws grip the planetary poles and down them elementary
particles flow to burn in the upper atmosphere like curtains of
cold fire. Terra knows the meaning of separation, of death. Even
now her tail brushes across the face of her dead sister. There is
no quickening response anymore, only the faint magnetic ghost of
fair Luna's long departed soul, and her dusty skull orbiting
silently in space." ______________________________________________
In this novel of magical realism, the Wind Demon makes a valiant
attempt to save the world and everything in it from humanity's twin
cancers of environmental hubris and endless warfare. His allies
include homeless children, bag ladies, certain tribes on the
Molecular level, an ancient samurai sword, post-apocalyptic
trashcan gladiators, an artist and part-time witch, a cook. His
adversary is a corporation of elite players in media, military,
government and industry bent on building a secret, high-risk--and
highly profitable--hot fusion power plant in lower Manhattan. The
Wind's battleground is a cordoned-off section of the Lower East
Side now dubbed "District of Containment" and currently used as an
indefinite holding area for dissidents and enemies of the state. "I
mean," figured Sideswipe, "you take too much shit away from people,
they got nothing to lose, am I right? Pretty soon law an' order,
even civilization as we know it-it don't matter to 'em no more."
How the Wind Demon Been Save' the World is the story of a
leaderless and highly diverse band of disenfranchised human beings
who occupy the ghetto that confines them, and transform it into
their own version of the American dream. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM
THE WIND.
