Product Description

Review

"[M]ay be destined to become one of the great underground classics of the 21st century."--Lansing State Journal

Product Description

Burned-out private dick Michael McGill needs to jump-start his career. What he gets instead is a cattle prod to the crotch. The president's heroin-addicted chief of staff wants McGill to find the Constitution—the real one the Founding Fathers secretly devised for the time of gravest crisis. And with God, civility, and Mom's homemade apple pie already dead or dying, that time is now. But McGill has a talent for stumbling into every imaginable depravity—and this case is driving him even deeper into America's darkest, dankest underbelly, toward obscenities that boggle even his mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring the underbelly of America., 31 July 2010
By 
An excellent, albeit short, novel as Mike McGill is tasked by the White House to find a secret constitution whiste supernatural powers.
Genuinely funny, it reads much like a Graphic Novel without p[ictures. It reminds me very much of Preacher by Garth Ennis. Journeying from city to city and state to state, McGill encounters depraved elements wherever he goes. Deviants, junkies and the nicest serial killer in the world all make an appearance in a road trip which encourages you not to make assumptions about others - nor to take them for granted.

As another reviewer has said, it didn't particularly shock me - probably saying more about me than anything - although there certainly is scope for that to occur.

Well wriiten, with brief yet incredibly real characters, I highly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Strange and fun., 31 Oct 2008
By 
K. Charlton "Happy Dad" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not quite as depraved as some reviews would have you believe, unless I have become a little jaded by exposure to the Internet. Which I suppose is the exact point the book is trying to make.
Genuinely funny tale from start to finish featuring a burnt out P.I. a love story, conspiracies, reptile love, saline infused ball bags, a bizarre plot and a background of depraved sickos.
It is funny, honest.

5.0 out of 5 stars America's Dark Underground, 12 Oct 2007
By 
Richard Kelly (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Warren Ellis is best know for his comics work, but he has finally managed to produce his first novel. The story centres around a private detective, Mike McGill, who is hired by the US Government to find the "other" Constitution of the United States of America - this contitution is a mystical document capable of resetting the morality of anyone who hears it being read to that of the founding fathers.

So Mike gets hired, he then has to trawl the sexual underground of the US to follow the trail that this document has left in its wake. If you have followed Warrenellis.com (or diepunyhumas.com prior to that) then you know where Warren's reseach interests lie. Expect to see lots of things from modblog (a body modification blog), dark sexual undercurrents and Godzilla Bukkake!!! All of this makes the book sound completely dark, but it is the most insanely funny wok of fiction I have read this year - my wife did ask what was so funny about it, but I didn't have the heart to tell her about the saline testicle injections (remember ignorance is bliss).

It is superb - 10/10
