Having inadvertently accomplished his mission, Lee flees to Interzone. He spends his time writing reports for his imaginary handler, and it is these documents which, at the insistence of his literary colleagues, eventually become the titular book. Whilst Lee is under the influence of assorted mindaltering substances, his replacement typewriter, a Clark Nova, becomes a talking insect which tells him to find Dr. Benway by seducing Joan Frost. Joan, curiously, is a doppelgnger of his dead wife.After coming to the conclusion that Dr. Benway is, in fact, the secret mastermind of a narcotics operation for a drug called black meat which is supposedly derived from the guts of giant centipedes, Lee completes his report and flees Interzone to Annexia with Joan Frost. ........
