   From the bank that likes to say “Er, thanks but no thanks.”

   Well, it’s easy if you know how but it does take a few weeks so it’s not exactly instant. What? This isn’t a home brewing guide? Could’ve fooled me. I mean the beer’s right there on the cover and the rest of the scene is a pretty good approximation of what you’ll be seeing if you get it wrong. But yes, a SF novel about a mad scientist who invents dehydrated beer. I’m sure I’ve got it right now.

   for a lot of the readership, the prospect of instant large, prostrate, naked women was more appealing – and fantastical.

   The event that kick started the evolutionary degeneration of the Nac Mac Feegle, the discovery of alcohol.

   Everyone wants to make instant gold, but who spares a thought for the naked giantesses that get trampled in the process?

   “Instant Gold: Frank O’Rourke” sounds like one of the many music records that were released in the 60s and early 70s.

   “If you enjoyed INSTANT GOLD: FRANK O’ROURKE, also listen to SOLID GOLD: FRANK STALLONE and BOOTS OF GOLD: NANCY SINATRA”

   Why is everything floating on or hovering above water? Perhaps they’ve finally figured out how to distill all of those gold molecules out of the ocean?

    Mr. O’Rourke also wrote the book that became the movie ‘The Professionals’.

    @fred: That tin looks like of … ashes? Dirt? Snuff? Not gold, that’s for sure, nor does it look like it would become gold if you added boiling water.

    @ARY: I thought it sounded like a greatest hits compilation album. “Instant Gold by Frank O’Rourke”. It has one song that inexplicably was a hit, one song you vaguely recognize, and eight songs no one’s ever heard, including Mother O’Rourke.
