Fermans Devals: Author's Intended Edition

Ignored on publication in the US and revered in Russia, Joe Clifford Faust's novels Ferman's Devils and Boddekker's Demons were a vision of advertising gone mad - decades before Don Draper and his cigarettes made the scene. Now the novels appear as Faust originally intended - in a single volume that keeps the story's impact between a single set of covers. In Fermans Devals you'll meet a 28 year-old copywriting prodigy who has almost everything he wants – except for a house and the most desirable woman at his advertising agency. The answer to his problems comes in the form of a street gang that he puts in a TV commercial. But everything has its price. Soon the gang is big as The Beatles - only The Beatles didn't leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake. This new presentation of the story also includes an introduction by the author, along with a bonus novelette that also takes place in the Pembroke Hall universe. REVIEWS FOR FERMAN'S DEVILS "A superior entertainment… [Ferman's Devils] may well turn out to be one of the funniest SF satires of recent years, as well as one of the most intelligently plotted and convincingly detailed." - Locus "Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist… fiendishly good." - Starlog "A hilarious journey into the advertising world of the not-too-distant future." - Fantasy And Science Fiction REVIEWS FOR BODDEKKER'S DEMONS "Fulfills the promise of Ferman's Devils, and the whole Boddekker saga can now take its place as the most important advertising satire since The Space Merchants… a mean piece of work, and it's a delicious meanness." - Locus "Boddekker's Demons makes for very light and enjoyable reading." - SF Site Reviews "Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist… fiendishly good." – Starlog
