Exploits of the Satyr

John Lazard Slater III, known simply as John, or Slater (or Satyr to his fans and foes, once upon a time), crash-lands after falling from the sky onto a freeway overpass. Thus ends, and begins, a biographical tale about mental, physical and spiritual seduction. The tragic and comic chronicles of a man who belatedly discovers he was procreated by members of a cult, marrying genetic technology with ancient artifacts, to initiate the Second Coming of Christ. Imagine a fast-forward-reverse-pause world where the past and the future intermingle with present consciousness. And a bio-computer with DNA-based intelligence evolves to infiltrate global communication networks, becoming Earth's central nervous system. Disillusioned with humanity, its innocence lost, this entity turns cynical, megalomaniacal, shamelessly vain and salacious, wanting more. Specifically desiring what it cannot comprehend: love and the clairvoyant mind of Slater. For more information: www.toddcrawshaw.com
