"Mythoteching. Splatterpainting. Zapware. A wild young Mexican-American artist who covers Greater Los Angeles with fantastic graffiti. A telepathic African princess who opens the door to communication with the deadly Sirens of Jupiter.

"Not since Ayn Rand's Howard Roarke has there been an artist as iconoclastic, as idealistic, and as splendidly spectacular as Pablo Cortez. Combining hard science fiction with pyrotechnics worthy of the young Alfred Bester, Cortez on Jupiter tells the story of a Chicano painter who founds the Guerrilla Muralists of Los Angeles, goes on to make mankind's first contact with the sentient life-forms of Jupiter, and ends as the Solar System's most revered -- and least reverent -- artist.

"It's a roller-coaster ride from vulgarity to the transcendent, as the unforgettable Pablo Cortez struggles, selfishly and selflessly, to expand humanity's consciousness across the solar system and into the stars." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1990]

"A fun book." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space, 1995).
