Ross Schuyler is a star. He drives his racer across the Arizona desert, carrying black market computer chips -- running a nightly gauntlet of government satellite tracking systems firing explosive, pulse phase particle beams -- to reach the safety and rewards of L.A. His life story is being broadcast around the world, and he's been heralded as the father of a newborn god. Then his microcomputer starts whispering warnings of conspiracy and doom -- and suddenly Schuyler must choose between the familiar dangers of the satellites and the perils of an all-seeing yet faceless enemy..

"In some ways, both DR. ADDER and THE GLASS HAMMER, as science fiction novels, deal very much with a quest for a missing or mysterious or somehow mythic father [...] those two books worked exactly the way I wanted them to." - K. W. Jeter "Imagine a book that combines the nerveless resignation of J.G. Ballard, the unremitting paranoia of Strugatsky and the manic inventiveness of the late Philip K. Dick and you will have some idea of the tone of K. W. Jeter's novel, THE GLASS HAMMER.." - New York Times Book Review "This is fiction seething with ideas. The narrative flow sweeps across your time sense like the pattern in a Navajo rug. K. W. Jeter just keeps getting better. The guy can write and he has something to write about. There's not much you could want from a book that you wont find in THE GLASS HAMMER." - Science Fiction Review
