The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad is a comic science fiction novel and social satire written by Edmonton, Alberta, Canada writer and activist Malcolm Azania under the pen name of "Minister Faust". His first book, it received major international release in August 2004 by the publisher Random House. "With an attention to detail and an eye for the absurd," wrote reviewer Rick Klaw in the Austin Chronicle, "it is as if Faust channeled Mark Twain to write a Neal Stephenson novel."
