Summary
In an America in which gravity has been altered, time is on the fritz, and corporations have seized control of everything, a ragtag group of circus folk, revolutionaries, and a beautiful journalist turns to Buddy, a man born with a special talent for performing tiny miracles, as a possible savior. By the author of The Hope Valley Hubcap King. Original. 20,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: THE TIME OF NEW WEATHER IS AT HANDâAND ITâS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
In this exhilarating adventure of absurdist wit, rollicking revolution and romance, the future isnât what it used to be and the past wonât leave us alone. Bringing to mind1984 and Brave New Worldâbut with his own twist of gleeful humorâaward-winning author Sean Murphy presents a vision of an America gone off the rails: an America where it literally rains cats and dogs, where a hubcap ranch is now a National Preservation Site, where a horde of circus folk and Elvis fans are on the rampageâand where some rather suspicious things are going on with time and gravity.
Into this world is born Buddy Le Blanc, a young boy with a special gift: the ability to perform tiny miracles. Nothing big, like raising the dead or curing the sickâmore like an uncanny knack for finding spare change. He longs to find a way to make a difference; but in a world where time and gravity storms can spring up at a momentâs notice (sending your belongings hurtling through the roof, or off to the Renaissance) and big business has gobbled up the U.S. government (now renamed The America Corporation), itâs hard to get your foot in the door. But when Buddy joins up with a cast of fellow seekersârenegade circus freaks, ragtag revolutionaries, a woman in search of her hat, and a particularly gorgeous journalistâin the hope of waking America up from its dream, the fate of the country may just end up in his not-so-capable hands.â¦
