Albert: an American who fell from grace in Paris. All he wanted was to find his old love and start life over again. But bomb-crazy terrorists, hackers, and assassins got in the way. Then he killed someone in self-defense. Then Euro TV stepped in and stuck a camera in his head. Then his lover joined a goth-synth rock band. Too much was happening too quickly. This is avant-pop- gone haywire in a weird, wired world, written by post-postmodernism's bad boy.
