 granada publishing group panther books imprint p/b first (check) printing
with the uniform cover design on all of brian's books they ukp/b-ed in 1979
(n.b. some that are not reported to state they are second or subsequent printings bear full-cover full-colour art by various artists, and are probably early eighties printings)

cover art unsigned, iirc uncredited, largely typographical uniform cover design
cover price 95p, £1.04½ rep of ireland, $1.25 australia, $2.95 new zealand
240pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

 Rated 10/10
colin charteris, the viewpoint character(s!), is on a road trip across a europe devastated by an undeclared world war fought making unrestricted use of psychotropic weapons: as he progresses across the continent from italy through france and into britain, which was targeted particularly heavily by the military psychedelics, observing the chaos, confusion and destruction wrought by them, he himself becomes increasingly affected by their residues, is adopted as an increasingly influential hippie cult leader, but also finds it increasingly difficult to keep full control of his own mind, and impossible to distinguish reliably between psychedelic effects (his visions?) and reality - assuming this still has any meaning at all...

- not the easiest of reads by any means, but well worth the effort.
