Signed by the Author. Octavo, red cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 307 pp. Fine (As New) in a Fine (As New) dust jacket.

The rocket that shoots you into the atmosphere can be carrying weapons of mass destruction that can send you just as quickly and efficiently to Hell. And back to Heaven again.

It is a side of Hollywood rarely seen from beneath its unvarnished, Botox-free, crinkling wrinkling flesh, and features a supporting cast of characters you will surely recognize.
