Publisher Description
"It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton".
So begins this original trilogy of conspiracies, Illuminatus!. For the first time in audiobook form, the unabridged epic is presented in all its grandeur, spookiness, hilarity, and brilliance.
The Illuminati, an inside joke? The lunatic fringe? Or a vast conspiracy hidden for centuries, unleashing it's power on a naive, defenseless world? It was the lousy luck of Saul Goodman, a tough, streetwise New York detective, to smell the trail in a bombed-out office - the heavy case he'd always dreaded. In a breakneck race against an awesome deadline, Goodman plunges down the trail of the ultimate conspiracy as the days fall away toward Apocalypse.
Filled with sex, violence, and rock-and-roll, in and out of time and space, Illuminatus! is only partly a work of the imagination. The trilogy tackles all the cover-ups of our time, from who really shot the Kennedys to why there's a pyramid on the one-dollar bill, and suggests a mind-blowing truth.
Part I: The Eye in the Pyramid is performed by the incomparable Ken Campbell and Chris Fairbank. In 1976, Ken Campbell adapted Illuminatus! for the stage, creating a 10-hour epic that went on to open the Royal National Theatre in London under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth II.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic fiction/non-fiction!
After having severn years of my boyfriend going on and on about how good these three novels are and how i should read them NOW! (being a student i have more pressing reading to be getting on with) so, decided to download it and listen to it together in between other bits and bobs and i have to honestly say i am thoroughly enjoying it. However don't be fooled into thinking you can put it on whilst you're doing the housework or got your head stuck under a car bonnet, you need to be concentrating or else you'll just get lost! Two very enthusiastic thumbs up !!
