description: Bertie Krohn, only child of Perry Krohn -- creator of TV's longest running space opera, The Navigators -- recounts the story of the last months in the lives of his two Thad Michelet, author, actor, and son of a literary titan; and CleaFreemantle, emotionally fragile daughter of a legendary movie star. Scions of entertainment greatness, they call themselves the Three Musketeers. As the incestuous clique attempts to scale the peaks claimed by their sacred yet monstrous parents during the filming of a Starwatch episode, Bertie scrupulously chronicles their futile struggles against the ravenous, narcissistic, and addicted Hollywood that claims them.
