Chemo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985683561)

Eddie Funston, after 41 years with a murderous Federal agency,

learns that retired agents die fast. He exchanges identity with

Victor Otis, an ancient hippie with a smelly dog in a small

California town, and crosses paths with Judith, whose multiple

identities are the result of alien abduction. With her gritty

humor, her teenage son Josh, and her lover Moshe, she's

managed a life. But Moshe himself is an alien, and the Feds target

her as an enemy sympathizer.

The aliens are actually very nice folks, sending emissaries to heal

the traumas they've caused. But seeing our rape of Planet Earth,

they are simultaneously planning to kill us as the cancer we are.

It's black, funny, and vaguely hopeful.
