'''closer to its own chthonian fires'''<br>
Reference to H.P. Lovecraft's work, most specifically the creature Cthulhu. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chthonian_%28Cthulhu_Mythos%29 WIKI]
'''"faceless predators"'''<br />
This paragraph reads like Pynchon checked his outline, noticed two loose ends (the Kahuna hijack and the monster-stomped laboratory) and tied them up as quickly and crudely as possible. Sloppy work.
