Klappentext zu „Your Fathers Where are They? “
The bestselling author of The Circle delivers a tour de force of one man struggling to make sense of his country, seeking solutions the only way he knows how. A "story about someone who takes revenge against the world because he can't fathom how he fits into it.... This is a one-sitting read" (USA Today).What do you do when you re full of questions: what happened to missions to the moon? Why spend a trillion dollars on war? Where did America go wrong?
If you re Thomas, a young man nursing migraines and a lack of direction, this calls for drastic action. To find some answers, Thomas kidnaps a NASA astronaut and brings him to an abandoned military base on the edge of the California coast. Then the questioning begins. The answers must be honest. The back and forth might even hurt. It might get uncomfortable. But eventually the truth will emerge.

BUILDING 52I did it. You re really here. An astronaut. Jesus.

You probably have a headache. From the chloroform.

Holy shit. Holy shit.
I said don t pull on it. And I have to tell you right away how sorry I am that you re here under these circumstances.
Who are you?
We know each other, Kev. From way back. And I didn t want to bring you here like this. I mean, I d rather just grab a beer with you sometime, but you didn t answer any of my letters and then I saw you were coming through town so Really, don t yank on that. You ll mess up your leg.
Why the fuck am I here?
You re here because I brought you here.
You did this? You have me chained to a post?
Isn t that thing great? I don t know if you d call it a post. Whatever it is, it s incredibly strong. This place came with them. This was a military base...
