| Annotation | Unusually for Burroughs, this novel includes a eutopia as well as a dystopia. The eutopia is based on the Libertalia community possibly founded by the pirate Captain Misson (ca 1660-ca 1690s) on Madagascar and is set in the eighteenth century. The dystopian material is typical Burroughs and is set in the twentieth century. Similar to 1991 Burroughs, which also uses the settlement. First volume of a trilogy that includes his 1983 The Place of Dead Roads and his 1987 The Western Lands. |
