The Ticket that Exploded

"Visionary and majestic, The Ticket that Exploded is the grand climax to Burroughs?s ?cut-up trilogy?. The story begun in the previous books escalates to its conclusions as Inspector Lee and the Nova Police engage the Nova Mob in a decisive battle for the planet. In The Ticket that Exploded, Burroughs paints an at once frightening and enthralling nightmare vision of scientists and combat troops, of ad men and con men whose deceitful language has spread like an incurable disease... The Ticket That Exploded is a postmodern science fiction novel. Burroughs expands upon his ideas about language "being a virus from outer space". It's the second novel in the Nova Police Trilogy."--
