Advance praise for one of Randolph Pitts’ novels: “A sexy thriller that shows New York City in the grip of terrorists, natural disasters and voodoo magic, while at the same time being a moving meditation on love, sensuality, and twenty-first century man’s fate in the universe. Possibly the greatest novel of our time.”
