From the Back Cover
In a country called the United States of Atlantis, on an Earth not quite the same as ours, it is election time. Vice President Michael Summerday, who still likes to think of himself as a good man, wants to become President. Very badly indeed. The polls would seem to indicate otherwise. Of course, there is one man who can help him - John Lockes, computer king and the richest man in the world. But, as we all know, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and in return for Lockes' support Summerday agrees to adopt the squillionaire's philanthropic scheme to end all crime in Atlantis. Only the plan isn't quite going to work out as expected.
Meanwhile, burnt-out journalist Macauley Connor is commissioned to write a hatchet biography of John Lockes. He sets out to expose the reclusive genius for the cynical manipulator he is. Only that isn't quite going to work out either. And then there's mild-mannered George Bailey. He just wants to put in an honest day's work at the bank but - you guessed it - even that is going to go catastrophically wrong.
In fact, nothing quite works out for anyone. And the more people try to put things right, the worse they seem to get.
Darkly disturbing and laceratingly funny, Let There Be Lite paints a blistering portrait of a society in a spin. A lot like ours, really.

Paperback. . And god it was Good! I et land som heter "United States of Atlantis", i en annen verden, skal det være valg. Visepresident Michael Summerday, som liker å tenke på seg selv som en god mann, vil bli president. Dessverre later det til at velgerne vil noe annet. Det er bare en mann som kan hjelpe ham, John Locker. Men hjelpen er ikke helt gratis, og det går ikke akkurat slik som Summerday hadde tenkt. Faktisk går det ikke slik som noen hadde tenkt. Boken gir et sarkastisk og humoristisk bilde av en samfunn i kaos - ikke helt ulikt vårt eget. Forfatteren har mottatt flere priser for sitt forfatterskap, dette er hans første roman.
