It’s the late 60s and times are tough. War rages in Vietnam. Riots in America. And on campus, the only pot is seeded Mexican.
Even worse, a lunatic with a nuclear arsenal, a bomb shelter business, and a secret plan to get rich quick is in the White House.
About to graduate, Mike Good is wary of law school and the American Dream. Same with death in Vietnam. He has his own secret plan—change the world. But with his Uncle Dick plottting to nuke it, he’ll have to save it first.
In this hilarious coming-of-age story, an unlikely hero takes on furious professors, bemused guidance counselors, dismayed theater-goers, appalled music critics, demanding girlfriends, vindictive frat rats, a disappointed porn director, a well-armed National Guard, an outraged Governor Reagan, the CIA’s Chief Mad Scientist, and the deranged leader of the free world.
Can a clueless underdog armed only with a quick wit, a sarcastic tongue, and no common sense enjoy sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll while rescuing Planet Earth?
If you like dark humor, irreverent political satire, and laughing out loud, you’ll love Turning On!
