Демоны Боддеккера

by Joe Clifford Faust

In "Ferman's Devils", Joe Clifford Faust surveyed the advertising biz of 21st-century Manhattan. Now, after being mugged by the Ferman's Devils street gang, ad writer Boddekker is about to hold up his end of a life-saving and hopefully, career-making, deal he made with the ruffians--to feature them in a commercial. But following a successful campaign launch by the Devils, Boddekker realizes that they can't handle fame and fortune, and he must scramble to protect his future--while he still has one.

About the author

Joe Clifford Faust is an American author best known for his seven science fiction novels primarily written during the 1980s and 1990s, including A Death of Honor, The Company Man, the Angel's Luck Trilogy (all published by Del Rey Books), and the satirical Pembroke Hall novels (published by Bantam Spectra). His novels are known for their tightly controlled plots and their sense of humor. Like many authors, he draws inspiration from previous and current occupations, including projectionist, record store clerk, radio announcer, sheriff's dispatcher, and advertising copywriter. He currently works in advertising, but keeps his hand in writing and through other creative projects such as occasional forays into cartooning and songwriting.

On February 16, 2011, Faust announced on his blog that he had created a publishing company called Thief Media as an organ to distribute his out-of-print novels in ebook formats. Releases are scheduled to begin in March 2011 with "A Death of Honor" and will include two previously unpublished novels, "The Mushroom Shift" and "Trust."

Reviews

[verbava · Rating 4 out of 5]

значно похмуріша, ніж попередня частина.
і, курде, дуже хороша сатира на цей довбаний світ, де людиська жовччю сходять від прибитого до дверей няшненького песика, але тотально ігнорують людські трупи (зокрема й ті, що з'явилися після теракту, влаштованого захисниками прав тварин у відповідь на прибивання песика до дверей).

The second part of Ferman's Devils is a lot darker and a lot less fun.
