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.

While young men wage war against an evil empire of zealous mutants, the population of this modern inferno is afflicted with the epidemic of a radioactive virus. An opium-infused apocalyptic vision from the legendary author of Naked Lunch is the first of the trilogy with The Places of the Dead Roads and his final novel, The Western Plains
