"What if the Sixties were the result of a bizarre experiment in mind control and genetic manipulation perpetrated by the CIA? What if outlaw heroes of the counterculture like Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, and Timothy Leary were paid government agents seeking to subvert the American consciousnes? What if the twisted path from Father Knows Best to Woodstock was carved out by top-level G-Men bent on creating a new world order... This is the raw material Todd Brendan Fahey's incendiary novel Wisdom's Maw ..." --Christopher Hunt (in Circuit Traces ).

"Wisdom's Maw was conceived at the turn of 1988-89, in a period of increasingly heavy LSD usage for me." --Todd Brendan Fahey (in Carbon 14 ).

"Conspiracy theorists unite: here's one of the most though-provoking reads in ages. Todd Brendan Fahey's shocking new book, Wisdom's Maw: The Acid Novel , is an unbelievably believable fusion of government drug trade histrionics and classic Hunter S. Thompson-style Gonzo journalism that kicks ass from start to finish." --Steven Blush (in Seconds , #42).

"Not since the Illuminatus trilogy has an author presented such a twisted tale of conspiracy. Blending fact with fiction, Todd Brendan Fahey has produced a counter-theory to the counterculture. Starring the infamous Captain Al Hubbard and featuring a character based on Ken Kesey, Fahey's novel propels you into the world of MK-ULTRA, LSD, the Kennedy assassination, and a plot to create the 'übermensch'. Rejected by nearly 200 publishers on the grounds of potential libel actions, Fahey decided to publish the book himself." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , May 1997).
