"Six to 18 Hours from Now" is a collection 30-or-so memorably twisted and darkly amusing detours on the road ahead. Carefully calibrated to tickle comfort levels and to stir laughter with all the subtlety of the prod of a fresh-sharpened assegai, these tales from Alex Kroll Jr offer a fresh look at Modern Lust in many of its Robust and Surprising Guises, the Possible Plus-Side of Fukushima, Surprises up the Family Tree, the Most Beautiful Girl in the Universe, Human Resources, Innovative Retirement Solutions for the Baby Boomer, the Holocaust, Unexpected Side-Effects of our Panoptic Surveillance Culture, What is to be Done about Communists and Nazis, Ending Religious Strife, Fathers and Sons, Six-Mile-High Plants, 9/11, Earth as Ovum, the Next American Civil War, Murder and many other subjects. In several chilling tales, Kroll even takes on Advertising! Kroll, a Princeton graduate, advertising copywriter and commercial voiceover artist in the New York City area, has never properly recovered from reading "Fail-Safe" in the fifth grade. His previous book, inspired by the work of Stanley Kubrick, is "Fourth & Gogol: The True Story of Russia’s Top-Secret American Football Program." It may still be remaindered somewhere.
