The publisher on this edition
An opium addict is lost in the jungle; young men wage war against an empire of mutants; a handsome young pirate faces his execution; and the world's population is infected with a radioactive epidemic. These stories are woven together in a single tale of mayhem and chaos. In the first novel of the trilogy continued in The Place of Dead Roads and The Western Lands , William Burroughs sharply satirizes modern society in a poetic and shocking story of sex, drugs, disease and adventure.
