The great modern classic of a brilliant rebel's personal exploration into the nature of consciousness Featuring a New Introduction by John Higgs "Cosmic Trigger deals with a process of deliberately induced brain change. This process is called "initiation" or "vision quest" in many traditional societies and can loosely be considered some dangerous variety of self-psychotherapy in modern terminology. I do not recommend it for everybody . . . briefly, the main thing I learned in my experiments is that "reality" is always plural and mutable." - Robert Anton Wilson from the Preface The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition

The first part of "Robert Wilson" introduces the artist's work in detail, illustrated with photographs of the artist's eye-catching installations, both indoor and outdoor. The second section is devoted to his latest project, a dazzling series of 12 illustrations, which he calls tableaux, in the historic rooms of Munich's Villa Stuck, the former residence of the artist and sculptor Franz von Stuck (1863-1928). For the past four years, Wilson has studied the painting, photography, architecture, furniture and even the lifestyle of Munich's famous artist in order to produce this spectacular "experience" of Franz von Stuck's world and the vibrant world of his pictures. "Robert Wilson" concludes with a comprehensive, illustrated documentation of his solo and group exhibitions.

Book 3 in the Charles Boxer Series Charlie Boxer, an expert at solving kidnappings, and his ex-wife Detective Mercy Dunqah are tasked with taking down a bold and heartless crime syndicate responsible for the abduction of six children. Two years after the events of You Will Never Find Me (Europa, 2015), Boxer is contemplating retirement. He has found a measure of contentment even as a mystery from his own past gnaws at his sense of justice. Mercy balances a complicated personal life with an even more precarious professional one in the woefully under-resourced metropolitan police department. Both are suddenly pulled back into service when six children of wealthy families vanish, taken by a ruthlessly efficient organization with a single astonishing demand. Investigators stymied and time expiring, they seem set on a calamitous course. Trapped, off-balance, and with little left to lose they plunge into a cauldron of warring intelligence agencies, morally destitute billionaires, and human traffickers, coming finally to a fateful Moroccan reckoning that will forever change them. The latest entry in Robert Wilson's acclaimed Charlie Boxer series, Stealing People is both topical and thrilling. Wilson unravels a convincing web of international intrigue in a world where heroism may breed vice and virtue is an accidental byproduct of crime.
