Beyond the Beyond BEYOND THE BEYOND
(Sequel to My Gun Has Bullets)

x-cop Charlie Willis handles "special security" at Pinnacle Pictures. His job: to protect the studio and its stars, to stop scandals before they explode, to keep the peace in the land of make-believe. When Pinnacle revives the cult, 1960s TV series "Beyond the Beyond" as the cornerstone of a fourth network, two powerful forces fight for control of the show—a talent agency that uses blackmail, torture, and murder to keep its clients on the A-list, and a homicidal legion of rabid fans led by an insane actor who thinks he's in outer space.

HIGH PRAISE

"Pinnacle Pictures has decided to revive a 25-year-old cult sci-fi TV show called Beyond the Beyond, but somebody keeps killing off the new cast. Is it the Hollywood agent who eats human flesh? The aging actor who still thinks he's a starship captain? The fans who live only to attend conventions? This sharp roman a clef goes where no Hollywood satire has gone before—altering just enough facts to avoid the libel courts but still smacking of a certain je ne sais Trek. It probably won't make Goldberg, a television writer and producer (Baywatch, Spenser: For Hire, seaQuest), the most popular boy on the Paramount lot, but it's a stingingly funny novel just the same."
   —Entertainment Weekly

"The novel's satiric slant is strong enough to have an effigy of Goldberg beamed into outer space at the next "Star Trek" convention."
   —Los Angeles Times

"An outrageously entertaining take on the loathsome folkways of contemporary showbiz."
   —Kirkus Reviews

"If Carl Hiaasen crossed with Dave Barry is your idea of the optimum hybrid, buy Beyond the Beyond."
   —Jeremiah Healy
