Getting it

[Caldera Desktop User]

For those who have forgotten or never got it in the first place,a brief synopsis:


Slothrop wants to get laid for free, like Benny Profane in V.,
and other aimless types we could mention. His work with
ACHTUNG has brought him into contact with many others
with their own expense accounts and he dreams of being a big
star foreign agent like Pirate Prentice. Knowing how paranoid
the Firm is, if Pointsman is anything to go by, he need only
leave something like a map of London lying around and their
suspicions will be aroused. To this end . . . Next thing he is
being well fucked and fed on the Riviera, travelling free 
through the Zone, answerable to no one, getting to indulge his
transvestism, having an extraordinary variety of sexual experi-
ences, still perhaps ending with an honourable discharge . . . .
