INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Hautman, Pete

The Flinkwater Factor

(3) 4-6 Ginger Crump, thirteen, just wants to be kissed before her birthday, but she finds herself up to her underdeveloped chest in classified scientific intrigues when a computer screen saver zombifies the residents of her Iowa town. And that's just the beginning of this wildly unfettered sci-fi adventure in which Hautman satirizes techno geeks, Homeland Security, and corporate culture.
