Schrödinger's ball

Felber frolics in the fields of science in this wacky tale revolving around four friends in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the late celebrated physicist Erwin Schrodinger, and a cat that may be alive or dead, depending on one's perspective. The cast of this crackling comic novel fills two pages and includes Earl Anderson, president of the Free State of Montana, summarily deposed after declaring war on the rest of the U.S.; Johnny Felix Decate, a musician with gun-cleaning skills that leave much to be desired.
