Chris Thompson thought his youthful dreams of being a secret agent had long ago been put to rest. He has a wife and child, a stable job with the US Customs Department, and--aside from a minor incident involving outsourcing American apple pie production to Bangladesh--no real worries.This all changes when Chris receives a phone call from the president of the United States, Oscar I. Wright, regarding a secret invasion of America from Canada and Mexico--an invasion somehow tied to the ''Big Mac Party,'' a cultish political party that worships the legacy of the notorious Communist-hunting Senator Joseph McCarthy. Soon, Chris is equipped with firearms, designer suits, government helicopters, and an array of gadgets worthy of any top-notch spy. His mission: infiltrate the mysterious ''Emergence'' program founded by McCarthy within the shadowy halls of the US government--and, ultimately, save democracy as we know it from the xenophobic demons of America's past.
A unique, bubbling combination of Christopher Buckley-esque satire, political farce, and espionage comedy, Happy Utopia Day, Joe McCarthy reveals--through encounters with a hilarious cast of hallucinating politicians, Border Patrol commandants, crew-cut torturers, stuttering computer wizards, supposedly immortal pilots, and more--just how frightening a contemporary abuse of government power can be.

"Expensive red wine." I described.
"Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger.
"Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing.
"And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced.
"Twice." I specified.
"And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised.
"Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement.
"Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him.
"I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.
"Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.
"Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work."
