This is a sequel to
The Fifth Child. Ben is 18 but looks about
35. Ben is huge and hairy with a violent sex drive. But in today’s
world of men there is no one like him. He is a throw-back to an earlier
ancient epoch in human history.
Unwelcome
and unloved at home, he runs out, and falls from one company to
another, from gangs, to a job where he is cheated, to a dying old woman
that cares for him like a small boy, to a prostitute and her protector
who use him and then dump him in France, to an American film maker who
wants to use him and takes him to Brazil. When he finally realizes there
are no living people like him except on rock drawings he decides to die
rather than continue a life of suffering.
