Good News is a 1980 novel by Edward Abbey. Good News is Abbey's only work of science fiction and can be considered a distant sequel to The Brave Cowboy.[1]
It is set in a Phoenix, Arizona of the near future after the economy and government have collapsed. Small bands of people (including Jack Burns, previously from The Brave Cowboy) are trying to live freely, but a would-be military dictator has other plans and is trying to set up a dictatorship using Phoenix as his base.
The book was first published in October 1980 with 242 pages and later reissued in January 1991 with 256 pages by Plume.
