Captain America

Todd Brendan Fahey

What if the Sixties were the result of a bizarre experiment in mind control and genetic manipulation perpetrated by the CIA? What if outlaw heroes of the counter-culture like Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, and Timothy Leary were paid government agents seeking to subvert the American consciousness? What if the twisted path from Father Knows Best to Woodstock was carved out by top-level G-Men bent on creating a new world order... This is the raw material for Todd Brendan Fahey's yet-to-be published novel, Wisdom's Maw -- elusive fragments of which have already appeared on the Net and elsewhere. Now Circuit Traces has obtained the crucial introductory chapters to this incendiary work. In this exclusive excerpt, notorious CIA cowboy and drug-slinger, Captain Al Hubbard, joins forces with Aldous Huxley, the eminence gris of psychedelic literature, in the search for someone to lead America into a new era, someone with the right stuff, a superman, an übermentsch ... a Captain America.
