Publisher's Summary

From one of the founders of the beat generation and the 1960s counterculture comes this opening novel of a series available now in audio for the first time. 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.

.....uhm.... yea nooo

The amount of male on male "action" is just too much to handle, let alone the amount of times evacuation and male genitalia has been mentioned every 2 minutes into the book. Dont get me wrong, let people be free and happy to do what makes them happy. But this here, in this book, is just distasteful. ESPECIALLY if the characters are all under age. Couldnt finish the book.

ALSO, ray porter is just an amazing narrator. The only good thing about this book.
