Synopsis: Summary by Golden Gryphon Press: Asel, you simply must come along? Peter said. Bobbie's bought Spayne. He wants us all to go and see? It's a truly splendid day. With Asel's marriage to the lovely Loreli the two great Houses of Christler-Coke and Pepsicoma-Dodge will become as one-a union that will finally swallow all of America East, and leave hapless lesser nobles in the cold. Ducky Du Pontiac Heinz has other ideas. With help from the wily scion of Disney-Dow, black choppers descend on Iacola Keen i-- a hostile takeover that brings both families to ruin. Life quickly goes to pot for the deposed Prince of Christler-Coke. Banished to The Natici (NERF) in Dry Rock, Oldahomer, - he has to dress himself, eat bad food, and wear Poly Hester suits. Escaping with another imprisoned noble, Sylvan Lee McCree of Dixie-DataDog, Asel discovers an America he never imagined in his darkest dreams.
