The Ticket That Exploded

'Earth was under attack, but by whom? The Insect People of Minraud? The Nova Mob? The "White Hunters"? Representatives of Hassan i Sabbah or the White Goddess?'

'Language is the worn coin pressed silently into my hand. Inspector J. Lee of the Nova Police knew them by many names - but he only knew one way to stop them.'

'The only weapon was silence: silence to say goodbye - by silence to say good. "You see, gentlemen, what we call history is the history of the word - and the word is a killer virus..."'

A prophetic vision of a world in which technology has gone haywire, 'The Ticket that Exploded' completes Burroughs' classic 'Cut-Up Trilogy'.
