Plot / Content:

"The year is 1988. Adolescent guerilla packs of specialised humanoids are routing the forces of civilised nations and ravaging the earth. From their small beginnings in 1969 as petrol gangs, dousing their victims with petrol and setting them on fire for kicks, they have grown to an army, dedicated to violence and death. When wholesale slaughter erupts, the battle continues underground where the survivors evolve into The Wild Boys, hordes of pitiless homosexual warriors who move in and destroy the cities - until civilisation collapses, revealing a future of horrifying dimensions . . . "(from the cover)



Background / Biography:

William Seward Burroughs II (5 February 1914 – 2 August 1997) was an American novelist, essayist, social critic, painter and spoken word performer. Much of Burroughs's work is semi-autobiographical, drawn from his experiences as an opiate addict, a condition that marked the last fifty years of his life. A primary member of the Beat Generation, he was an avant-garde author who affected popular culture as well as literature. continued on Wikipedia

Quote from this book
"'I'll do it.' Mark unbuckles Johnny's belt. With gentle precise figures he unbuttons pants and shorts and shoves them down.They fall to Johnny's ankles. Johnny stands there, his cock half-up from the scratching mouth dry heart pounding. Mark reaches forward and takes Johnny's cock by the tip with two fingers moving it to one side and with the other hand parts pubic hairs. He points to red mark . . . 'Look there Johnny' . . . Oh! Christ! it is happening he can't stop it. Mark looks up at him and Johnny blushes bright red biting his lip. Mark smiles slow and brings his finger up in three jerks as Johnny's cock stands out all the way up and points to his pounding heart."

from p 68
