How I Saved The World

Description for HOW I SAVED THE WORLD by Philip Slater:

What would you do if you knew that the world was on the edges of nuclear war?

If you're Taylor Bishop, you'd save the world...

And wonder how you got into this mess in the first place. In Taylor's case, it all starts with a strangely human-looking spider, and a slightly crazy Indian medicine woman, and turns into the most hilarious anti-nuclear war adventure ever. Teaming up with his friend Grace, a hard-headed but warm-hearted anthropology professor, Taylor careens from California to Massachusetts on the trail of a secret government project code named "Donald Duck", which seems to depend mainly on psychic power. While Taylor bones up on a few useful techniques in out-of-body travel and automatic writing, Grace helps out by seducing government agents and generally trying to keep Taylor's feet on the ground---and not a moment too soon either, as they discover that "Donald Duck" is child's play compared to the real danger...
