Description:

"Remarkable...Powerful...Mesmerizing...Lyrical."--Susan Cheever Welcome to the America of the 21st century. The O-Zone is a forbidding land of nuclear waste, mutants & aliens. Except for one place that is a beautiful oasis amidst the destruction. When two aliens are shot that look suspiciously human, Hooper Allbright, disurbed by the memories of those he once loved, goes back down into the O-Zone to try to reach the people he lost, though they may be unreachable by now... "Smart, witty, grotesque, & brutal."--The Philadelphia Inquirer
