Hitler the Cat Goes West
It's not about a German dictator. It's not about a feline of any kind. And it's not about Horace Greeley's alleged advice to young men in the late 18th century.

It is the year 2090 A. D.

The United States ceased to exist twenty years earlier, after the Supreme Court declared all participates in an abortion subject to execution. Six fragmentary nation-states emerged out of the violence following from this Great Dissolution.

Many of the six heads of state have been systematically assassinated, and a militant religious group, the True Way, seems to be responsible, never having concealed its desire to forge one theocratic union extending across the entire North American continent. In order to avoid the inevitable chaos that more assassinations would bring, most of the new nations are submitting to a forced reunification.

Hired to perform one of the remaining assassinations is one "Hitler the Cat," with his own motives to dispatch the Bishop of the Republic of Southern California. However, things do not go as planned. Instead, a revised scheme brings together an unlikely band of conspirators who manage temporarily to convince the masses throughout the world that they are witnessing the Second Coming of Christ.

But this version of Christ is not the one they expected. Rather, this particular Christ is a drug addicted, midget of Japanese ancestry, and his life expectancy is not overly long.

About the Author

ROBERT PIELKE, a native of Baltimore, Maryland, now lives in Claremont, California. He earned a B.A. in History at the University of Maryland, an M. Div. in Systematic Theology at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, and a Ph. D. in Social Ethics from the Claremont Graduate School.

He taught on ground and online for countless years at George Mason University in Virginia, El Camino College in California and online for the University of Phoenix. Now happily retired from “the job,” he is doing what he always wanted to do since he wrote his first novel at ten in elementary school. It was one paragraph, three pages long and, although he didn’t know it at the time, it was alternate history. Since then, in addition to his academic writings in ethics, logic, and popular culture, he has published short stories, feature articles, film reviews, a non-fiction analysis of rock music, You Say You Want a Revolution: Rock Music in American Culture, a boring academic treatise, Critiquing Moral Arguments, a savagely satirical novel on America and its foibles, proclivities and propensities, Hitler the Cat Goes West, and an alternate history, science fiction novel, The Mission.

Most recently, he has updated and revised his book on rock music and it is being republished by McFarland & Co. Alternate Dimensions Press has published A New Birth of Freedom: The Visitor, the first book of an alternate history/time-travel/first-contact science-fiction trilogy. The second of the three, The Translator, is already underway.

He swims daily, skis occasionally, cooks as an avocation, watches innumerable movies, collects rock and roll concert films, is an avid devotee of Maryland crabs and maintains a rarely visited blog filled with his social and political ravings. His favorite film is the original Hairspray; his favorite song is “A Day in the Life;” his favorite pizza is from the original Ledo Restaurant in College Park, MD; and he is a firm believer in the efficacy of "sex, drugs and rock and roll." Somehow his family and friends put up with him.
