Hogan's debut, first published in 1990, introduced the subgenre of Chicano SF to a startled, dazzled American audience.

All Pablo Cortez cares about is creating art, whether it's humongous graffiti sprayed across Los Angeles or zero-gravity paint slinging in space.

When he confronts the alien Sirens of Jupiter, who have zapped the minds of earlier explorers, he takes their overwhelming flood of bizarre images as subject matter for new masterpieces.

A jangling, rambunctious picture of artistic genius .

tons of fun for freethinking readers who appreciate heroes with cojones.

Publisher's Weekly Hard SF, satire, adventure, and some very strange humor combine in this intriguing, inventive, and sometimes disconcerting SF story.

- Michael Lichter, Amazon It grabs you and won't let you go.

The best first novel] I've read in science fiction since Neuromancer.

- Tom Witmore, Locus Not since Ayn Rand's Howard Roarke has there been an artist as iconoclastic, as idealistic, and as splendidly spectacular as Pablo Cortez.

And look out, he's twice as radical Energetic, fast-paced, funny, and thoroughly enjoyable.

-Analog Combining hard science fiction with pyrotechnics worthy of The Stars, My Destination, Ernest Hogan tells the story of the painter who founds the Guerrilla Muralists Of Los Angeles, goes on to make Mankind's first contact with the sentient life-forms of Jupiter.
