Allie Fox was going to re-create the world.
Abominating the cops, crooks, scavengers and funny-bunnies of the 20th century, he abandons civilisation and takes his family to live in the Honduran jungle. There his tortured, quixotic genius keeps them alive, his hoarse tirades harrying through a diseased and dirty Eden towards unimaginable darkness and terror.
