SUPERANNO Sangamon Taylor sports a wet-suit not a trench coat and prefers Jolt to Scotch. Taylors house is bombed, his every move followed, tops the FBIs most wanted list, and plays a starring role in the near-assassination of a presidential candidate. Closing the case with his burnout roommate, his tofu-eating comrades, three major networks, and a range of unconventional weaponry, Taylor pulls off the most startling caper in Boston Harbor since the Tea Party.

Two centuries after the Boston Tea Party, harbour dumping is still a favourite local sport, only this time it's major corporations piping toxic wastes into the water. Environmentalist and professional pain in the ass Sangaman Taylor is Boston's modern -day Paul Revere, spreading the word from a 40-horsepower Zodiac raft. Embarrassing powerful corporations in highly telegenic ways is the perfect method of making enemies, and Taylor has a collection that would do any rabble-rouser proud.After his latest exploit, he's wanted by the FBI, possibly by the Mafia, and definitely by a group of Satanist angel-dust heads who think he's looking for a PCP factory, not PCB contamination. Pretty soon dodging bullets is the least of Taylor's problems - because somewhere out there are an unhinged genetic engineer and a lab-concocted bacterium that could destroy all ocean life and that's just for appetizers.Frightening, funny, fast and furious, Zodiac is thrilling speculative fiction torn straight from today's headlines.
