RED IS THE NEW GOLD
There's more than meets the eye when inmates riot in a West Coast maximum security prison. What could possibly have made the men tear each other limb from limb? When it's discovered that the dead prisoners might be guinea pigs in a much larger scheme, the powers that be in D.C. send in the only two men who can deal with the sinister new threat.
Patrick "Podge" Becket and Dr. Thaddeus Wainwright are tossed into the fray, and the pair follow a trail of bodies that leads to a crazy California cult with a demented leader who claims to welcome with open arms all who seek knowledge. But enlightenment comes at a price, mainly in the form of cold, hard cash into the bank account of failed comic book writer and self-proclaimed High Star Admiral R. Gunn Hallifax.
Hallifax's fanciful tales of interstellar wars and ancient, out-of-this-world enemies have the gullible lining up in droves to join his church, and his disciples become an earthly army for their leader's terrestrial aims. No, there's nothing otherworldly about conventional murder and mayhem. It's up to the Red Menace and Dr. Wainwright to discover just what the cult has to do with the head honcho of a down-on-its-luck perfume company, a Russian hit squad, a sexy Hollywood superstar, and a threat to all America.
And no matter what the stars have to say about it, here on Earth all the players quickly learn that even in the Golden State blood runs Red. Just like everywhere else.
