After being caught in bed with a headless pageant winner, Abraham Lincoln (no relation) is stripped of his duties as the mayor of Gyre, the harbor-like town where garbage clings to its spiraling shores. The townsfolk stand their grounds of disrespectful rage over their former mayor and factions of humans, animals, dinosaurs, zombies, chewing-gum, fairy-folk and gangster snowmen have already begun welcoming the new mayor... Moon and an alien invasion they don't even see coming.Abe sees nothing but bad news and teams up with a young cub reporter and a nihilistic, signing bear to take back his thrown before the whole town turns to garbage like its shores. Meeking's sci-fi-political Bizarro is something like Mike Resnick's: John Justin Mallory series meets Tim Burton's Mars Attack.
