Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground

by Derek Swannson, Amerah (Illustrator)

Overview

YALDABAOTH HAS A PROBLEM: a pesky author named Derek Swannson has been writing books that veer too close to the truth about the Lord of the Illuminati’s underground activities on Earth.

Intent on destroying Swannson’s reputation by fueling his gonzo appetites with the rewards of American capitalism, Yaldabaoth enlists the help of Jeb Beezos, the CEO of Glamazon—a global Internet juggernaut that’s made Beezos one of the world’s richest men—and Conye Best, a superstar rapper who happens to be married to the world’s most famous reality TV star, Limn Lardassian.

What follows is a parody of an increasingly totalitarian society that’s already on the verge of parodying itself—a skewering of the dark side of American pop culture and the Deep State’s pathocratic agenda that’s darkly funny because it’s so deeply true. Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground combines political satire, paranormal romance, surrealistic fantasy, and slapstick humor into a remarkably entertaining and unforgettable story that will forever change the way you think about the extremes of fame, wealth, and power.

Editorial Reviews

Swannson nails down his claim to be the conspiracy world's Nick Cave. The latest Crash Gordon is a brooding, sexy, outlandishly clever and emotionally literate spin through the horrors of late capitalism and the very real rise of a punitive security state.

—Dr. Matthew Alford, author of The Writer with No Hands

If Dante updated the Inferno for the 21st C., it could not be hairier than what Derek Swannson paints in CGIU. But his Hell is a helluva lot funnier, while all the while coming uncannily close to diagnosing our Zeitgeist. Get ready for ontological spills and chills and thrills better than the Cyclone's back seat!

—Kevin Dann, author of Expect Great Things: The Life and Search of Henry David Thoreau

Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground by Derek Swannson takes us on an "illuminating" ride into the dark corners where the global financial elite (the Illuminati) hide out. Its setting is a scenario where an obscure author begins to get some traction in exposing how the super-powerful are creating an evil prison planet. They could easily "terminate him with extreme prejudice," but this might draw more attention to the evil that they must not allow to see the light of day. They decide to corrupt and discredit this upstart by paradoxically using the same methods that he is struggling to expose. The book is a journey through a series of quite realistic episodes to corrupt, entrap, and dishearten a young writer who "knows too much!" It is a riveting journey in a blend of fact and fantasy!

Derek Swannson's Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground is a captivating mix of fact-based reality and fantasy. Although lengthy, it will keep your attention and challenge your fundamental belief systems! The author has done extensive research into hidden power, assassinations, conspiracies, and deep politics. He does a masterful job of illustrating how we are only seeing the shadows of reality. It is adventurous, humorous, and the on-track dialog is expertly done. Derek is a master of coining phrases that are self-explanatory. No one would have to ask what "tapeworm economics" means. This book is well illustrated, well organized, imaginative, and stays on track. The reader will never look at fame, wealth, and power in the same way again! (Five Stars)
