Doom Patrol/Invisibles references in novel?

There is a book here...

What is it about? And does it have any connections with Grant Morrison? I'm not sure where but I read somewhere a couple of years ago that this book had many references to the Invisibles and Doom Patrol. I rememebered the book's name and decided to ask here after a look on Amazon.

So is that true and is this any good?

Do you know the nature of the references to both works by Morrison?

"Grant Morrison the Antichrist?
I'm a huge fan of all of Grant Morrison's work, from Zenith to the Invisibles. His work will make you think in a way that you never have before. If you're a fan of his work like I am, you should check out Brian Caldwell's novel, We All Fall Down. It's the Biblical Apocalypse done right- full of sex and violence and an angry young man who smokes and swears too much. I mention all of this here because the Antichrist in the novel has the peculiar name of Richard Grant Morrison, and when he begins talking about how humanity has to realize that they are five demensional creatures growing in the soil of space/time, you'll realize that that name isn't a coincedence. Check it out after you've read all of Grant's stuff."

We All Fall Down has been discussed in the Books forum. Brian Caldwell poked his head in briefly, too. Don't know if he still reads the board, but you never know...
