The Center for Magic Carpet Studies and the National Magic Carpet Reporting Center feed the frenzy that follows the publication of flying-carpet stories by Marty Janko of Portland and Amanda Olsen of Seattle.
Some historians buy into it and think that flying carpets may have played a part in history, such as Pheidippedes’ ‘run’ from Marathon to Athens, Mohammad’s flight from Mecca to Medina, and Napoleon’s escape from Elba.
A physicist at the Livermore National Laboratory wants to get a piece of an alleged flying carpet so he can run tests on it and see if there is some alloy or resin that can somehow emit wavelengths capable of interacting with certain electro-chemical processes of our thoughts.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science dismisses all claims about flying carpets and offers ten million dollars to anyone who can bring them one. The notorious Mister Hung, kingpin of the Wah Ching syndicate in San Francisco, proceeds to offer twenty million dollars to anyone who can bring him one.
Ed Harrington, an SFPD detective nearing retirement, gets assigned the job of keeping Mister Hung from getting his hands on a flying carpet, which he thinks is absolute nonsense. But with a wife who went through a post-menopause metamorphosis and is now a full-fledged Santeria priestess with a sacrificial altar in the living room, what’s a little more nonsense? Besides, Ed is now just counting the days till retirement, when he plans to buy a big fishing boat and live by himself in the San Francisco Bay.
So Ed and his assigned partner, a flamboyant, transgender policewoman, go through the motions and stake out Mister Hung’s shop in Chinatown, where just about every nut-job in the city is bringing a rug that they claim can fly.
Could there really be a flying carpet out there? Ed is about to find out, and his skepticism is about to get blown to smithereens.
Set in San Francisco in the spring/summer of 2013, Magic in “The City” A San Francisco Story (Book Three of “The Magic Carpet Trilogy”) is a laugh-out-loud, action-packed adventure that reaches deep for the child inside you.
Magic in The City A San Francisco Story Book Three of The Magic Carpet Trilogy 3 edition by Jim Riva Humor Entertainment eBooks
This book is about addicting children to substance abuse and sports and it is fed to children in such a way that it appears to be desirable and glamorous and associated with Justice to become an addict. Take for example the first paragraph: …” I was standing outside the Hall of Justice, smoking a cigarette and listening to the baseball game on my phone. It was opening day for the Giants, the World Series champion Giants. They were playing in L.A. against the Dodgers…”. This paragraph associates smoking and sports with lofty and elevated Justice.The author reinforces misogynistic attitudes when he refers to his “crazy ass wife” and makes a series of derogatory statements about his Santeria Priestess wife. The single redeeming quality of the book is the marriage of the authors gay son to his gay partner. It was touching and real when the Father apologizes to his son for not supporting his son when the son needed his support. But the father and the son go on insulting and ridiculing their wife and mother… the Santeria Bitchess … and her portable Santeria alter. Peacocks were featured at the wedding and they were shamefully hounded by the wedding planner. The gay wedding was the best part of the book. The wedding planner was attacked by the peacocks he landed on the cake and the author lit another cigarette and left the farce of a wedding.
I would not buy this book for any child because of the first corrupting paragraph of the book. The wedding ceremony was too much of a joke and not really respectful except for the apology.
The rest of the book employs disrespect and what passes for humor among some odd element of the population. The police are called in to deal with criminals and another farce ensues. This is not elevating literature. This book was free but poisonous.
Ha ha level – 2-4, profanity level: 3-5 elation level: 1 Book has a fast pace.
