520    "Bob Honey--a modern American man, entrepreneur, and part-
       time assassin. He's just a guy trying to make it through 
       each day while grappling with loneliness, alienation, 
       violence--uncertain of his place in a culture that 
       considers branding more important than being. Bob Honey 
       has a hard time connecting with other people. He dreams he
       is sleeping with his ex-wife every night, and imagines 
       waking up unhappy next to her every morning. Advertising, 
       entertainment, and commerce rule his days; he's sick of 
       being marketed to every moment, but is unable to pry 
       himself away from the constant feed. A paragon of American
       entrepreneurialism, Bob sells septic tanks to Jehovah's 
       Witnesses and arranges colorful pyrotechnic displays for 
       foreign dictators. He's also a part-time assassin for an 
       off-the-books program run by the CIA that targets the 
       elderly, the infirm, and others who drain this consumption
       -driven society of its resources. When a nosy journalist 
       starts asking questions, Bob can't decide if it's a chance
       to form some sort of new friendship or if it's the 
       beginning of the end for him. With treason on everyone's 
       lips, terrorism in everyone's sights, and American 
       political life racing to ever-lower standards, Bob decides
       it's time to make a change. If he doesn't get killed by 
       his mysterious controllers or exposed in the rapacious 
       media first"--|cProvided by publisher
