Psaurian: a novel of semi-intelligent design
Psaurian: a novel of semi-intelligent design chronicles the exploits of Deacon Flick, a drunken ex-military telepath. He makes a living in Las Vegas using his telepathic abilities as a casino cheat for the mafia. Deacon is conscripted into a covert organization. The clandestine group uses a menagerie of telepathic beasts to combat an extraterrestrial threat. The cryptids, however, are chaffing at years of human rule.
Deacon is partnered with Mira, a veteran operative on the rebound, to find the Psaurian, a cryptid of legendary power. They embark from the Complex’s base in Nevada for the swamps of the African Congo.
The journey takes Deacon and Mira to the possible origin of humanity. An event birthed at the intersection of conspiracy theory, religious dogma, and Led Zeppelin album art.
Psaurian was written by a former political operative with front line experience in the ongoing battle between science and religion. Political themes are woven with a penchant for unexplained phenomena. There are militant insurgent Sasquatches and aliens who prescribe to a preemptive first strike doctrine. Psaurian revels in the absurdism generated by presidential debate questions on creationism, evolution, and UFOs.
From the author:
“I’m intrigued by influences and inspirations, and the idea that the hip-hop movement has transformed how art and media are mixed and manipulated. I wrote Psaurian as equal parts satire of recent works like the Left Behind series, a pastiche of cultural references from Roswell to Snoop Dogg, and an homage to classic genre efforts by King and Creighton, with plenty of intoxicated silliness.”
