KGB

by Mike Palecek

The main story centers around Walter Gerald, a construction worker who is arrested for threatening the life of former president George H. W. Bush. He is sent to Woodbury County Jail where he is befriended by the rough inmates of "D Block" led by repeat offender Mark Pontiac.As alternate chapters go into detail of the atrocities carried out under Senior Bush's orders, including the massacre of innocent women and children in Panama and the support of terrorists in El Salvador, the inmates eventually decide to help Walter assassinate Bush when he comes to town on a publicity stop.There are also some interesting connected side stories like that of Elana Usak, a pirate radio DJ on the run from the FCC, and a group of conspiracy researchers who catch wind of the assassination plot and decide to take action.
