The Story of the Century: a Novel Karl Eysenbach

This is the story of the story of the century.  Saroyan Pashogi has it all, riches, fame, and a handsome international league soccer playing boy friend, but she wants a different kind of man.  She finds him as an New LA celebrity reporter, Clem Reader.  Little does she know that Clem has just stumbled upon the government's darkest, most closely held secret, and that it's ordered jobs on both Saroyan and Clem to silence them.

Set 300 years after a nuclear war, the place they live in has an amazing resemblance to the United States today. Along the way, The Story of the Century provides glimpses of the way things are today in international drug smuggling, the military industrial complex, the world intelligence community, and political corruption. And just as much as The Story of the Century is about a reporter's discovery of what the government really knows about flying saucers (and his fabulous romance with a Hollywood leading lady),  the book is also a dyspeptic portrait of America today.
