Summary
John Locke is a philosopher, empiricist, and a clandestine operative who likes his tuxedos pressed and his Discourse martinis "spoken, not slurred". After a botched mission leaves his neck open like a guillotined monarch (don't worry, he gets better), his superior Aristotle sends him on an assignment to recover Bacon's Four Idols, powerful philosophical artifacts that when brought together could erase reality. But everybody knows that the Four Idols are only a myth...
Forced to work with a motley crew of philosophers, theorists, and the beguiling figure of Agent Sophia Wisdom, John Locke must arm himself with the most cunning paradox engines and philosophical gadgets, and race across the globe in search for the (allegedly) nonexistent artifacts while battling existential villains and their nihilistic henchmen.
Filled with espionage parody, chock full of terrible wordplay, and crammed to the brim with references to philosophers past and presently dead, You Only Think Twice is a hilarious, and hopefully thought-provoking story for enthusiasts of both spy fiction and the philosophical treatise.
