EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Fallen Nation: Babylon Burning is a psychedelic roadtrip across the highways of the modern collective unconscious. It's a world where just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you, where the things you dream about can come back to haunt you when you wake, and where the end of this world is just the beginning of another. 'A progressive
fictional universe created by a wickedly talented scribe. . . Philip K Dick might have company someday... ' - Brooke Burgess, writer/producer of Broken Saints.

READERS REVIEWS:
Jack Schmidt (Hinterland, USA) - FIVE STARS
Illuminatus, Robert Anton Wilson, Philip K. Dick and Neil Gaiman certainly all come to mind when reading Fallen Nation; Haruki Murakami and Alan Moore too. I love all these authors, but thankfully Curcio is doing something all his own here. He's not aping anyone else.

In Fallen Nation Curcio has dragged something unsettlingly out of the shadows of modern culture so we can examine its contours more closely. In the process we may note the hidden effects of oh-so-fashionable complacency, homogeneity, cynicism, escapism and post-modern irony just as his rebel-rousing characters must; and just maybe find a portion of the
courage, tenacity, wit and humor they unfold in order to find both themselves and a better, more humane way of living.

If you liked any of the fore-mentioned authors then this book is for you. If you enjoyed his previous book, Join My Cult!, then you're going to absolutely love this one. It's a faster, more fun-loving and dangerous ride.

Curcio's prose begs the reader to live and love like there's no tomorrow... 'cause you know what? Your end, and the end of the American Empire may be coming sooner then you think.

Harry Pottash (Tujunga, CA, United States) - FIVE STARS
Thick with both occult and pop-culture references "Fallen Nation" summons up echo's of Robert Anton Wilson's "Illuminatus!" trilogy. The book sets an aggressive pace as it follows the adventures of several gods who are seeking to reform the nature of reality and their own minds. If you are at all a fan of "American Gods" by Neil Gayman or Illuminatus! this book is
one which you will surely enjoy.
