TRANSORBITAL is historical fiction that follows the exploits of superstar lobotomist Dr. Walter Freeman. With his trusty ice pick in hand and his loyal—though erratic—sidekick, The Kid, riding shotgun, Freeman drives his Lobotomobile coast to coast across post-war America, determined to save the country from its own troubled mind. With messianic fervor, an evangelist’s sense of righteousness, and a jazzman’s gift for improvisation (and showmanship), Doc Freeman is quickly gaining converts, and notoriety. All is going just well, until a number of Freeman’s former protégés start turning up dead. Creepy, grimy, and darkly humorous, Transorbital is an off-kilter twist on the old pulp whodunit.
