Some thoughts

This was a fun book to write. It did have a lot of darkness though.

Setting the 60s a few centuries on within an intergalactic setting was straightforward. Putting in the dark overtones of Big Business, the Mafia and the Establishment added intrigue. There were the usual scenes of sex, drugs and excess as well as the social and political  mix. It made for an interesting setting for the story to run its course.

Zargos Ecstasy was the main character. I wrote this prior to the rise of ecstasy as a popular drug so that was an interesting development that gave me a bit of a laugh. He, being a larger than life character, was very much based on an amalgamation of Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger and David Bowie with a bit of Bob Dylan and John Lennon thrown in. I had to have someone who was supercharismatic and a great showman, an excessive personality but with a social conscience.
