What if you could make things vanish, purely with a simple effort of your mind? What would you do? Who would want to control that power? Jack Cady, in The Man Who Could Make Things Vanish , releases a long pent-up everyman rage against a system that is designed to terrorize, inhumanize, and degrade the human experience. The faceless secret organization that lurks behind all villainy is given a name here--Mobilier--and the only thing that can stop it from complete world domination is one man. Candy, a long time outspoken critic of the military industrial complex and over-reaching government action, turns his considerable talents to pose a scathing "What if?" that is still terrifying relevant and cautionary today as it was when the book was first released twenty years ago. This is Cady the historical fabulist becoming the Cady the visionary seer.
