An L.S.D. Journey in the 1969 California Underground
The star of our story is Tom Calder, who is trained as a concert lightman and in a Libyan guerilla warfare school.
See where The Coyote leads us as he bends reality into this wild adventurous novel that starts in 1969 during a drug deal that goes very wrong.
Experience what life was really like before the Hippies were herded by Governor Reagan into camouflage targets for the VietCong.
Live in a terrorist safehouse in San Francisco based upon similar hostels and underground railroads Coyote travelled through during his years of hitchhiking across America and Canada in the sixties and early seventies.
This is the book that received compliments from publishers who said they were, "afraid to publish this book..." due to pressures from the Reagan Administration: not to glorify drug usage.
Since everyone else is too scared to publish this book: Shaolin Communications is publishing Sid's Place.
