Product Description

In the 21st century, Womack-world is a nightmare world - there is martial law on the streets, guerilla warfare on Long Island and murder and mayhem in the boardrooms of the city. The powerful Dryco organization wields power across the world, but at home coercion may work better than force.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb cyberpunk time twisting future thrill starring Elvis!, 3 April 2001
Perhaps Jack Womack's finest hour, Elvissey is a highly original novel which follows on from the events of Terraplane. The omnipotent Dryco Corporation trys to kidnap Elvis to control powerful future Elvis cults; but this is only the beginning. Strong characterisations and powerful writing mark this out as an extremely clever and exciting novel by probably the best SF writer working today.

1.0 out of 5 stars Well its not the worst book I ever read, 7 May 2000
By A Customer
It's ages since I read this, I was just looking it up because it suddenly became relevant to mention it existed in my dis when I was writting about Alexander Guy and his paintings comparing the life of Elvis to the Life of Christ. Basically the book is a satire. It sets out with the premise that in the future Elvis is regarded as God. Time travel, assasination attempts, bleaching of skin and a variety of incidents (possibly more amusing if you know more about the king than I do) ensue. Yada yada yada. I don't remember how it finished because I don't think I could stomach reading it that long. Alexander Guys paintings run a much nicer, more ironic and damn site funnier line on the same idea. Still you might like it so spend the money if you want.
