Book excerpt: Matt has always been nothing but a clone - an exact replica, grown from a strip of old El Patron's skin. Now, age fourteen, Matt suddenly finds himself thrust into the position of ruling over his own country, Opium, on the one-time border between the US and Mexico, stretching from the ruins of San Diego to the ruins of Matamoros. But while Opium thrives, the rest of the world has been devastated by ecological disaster… and hidden somewhere in Opium is the cure. And that isn't all that's hidden within the depths of Opium. Matt is haunted by the ubiquitous army of eejits, zombie-like workers harnessed to the old El Patron's sinister system of drug growing... people stripped of the very qualities which once made them human. Matt wants to use his newfound power to help stop the suffering, but he can't even find a way to smuggle his childhood love Maria across the border and into Opium. Instead, his every move hits a roadblock - both from the traitors that surround him and from a voice within himself. For who is Matt really but the clone of an evil, murderous dictator?

Download or read book The Day of the Scorpion written by Paul Scott and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-08-05 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second in the epic quartet capturing life at the end of British rule in India, “an achievement of unusual dimensions and power” (The Observer (UK)). In The Day of the Scorpion, Scott draws us deeper in to his epic of India at the close of World War II. With force and subtlety, he recreates both private ambition and perversity, and the politics of an entire subcontinent at a turning point in history. As the scorpion, encircled by a ring of fire, will sting itself to death, so does the British raj hasten its own destruction when threatened by the flames of Indian independence. Brutal repression and imprisonment of India’s leaders cannot still the cry for home rule. And during the chaos, the English Laytons withdraw from a world they no longer know to seek solace in denial, drink, and madness. Praise for The Day of the Scorpion “Classical and complex in structure, with a mystery at its center.” —P. Albert Duhamel, New York Times Book Review “[A] rich, elaborately terraced novel. . . . [Scott’s] view of the crippling illusionary quests of men and nations, his ability to recreate a culture and a time, continue to mark him as a novelist of importance.” —Kirkus Reviews “An even richer tapestry of Indian and British character than its predecessor, with greater wealth and variety of incident. . . . [A] ramifying and exciting but beautifully constructed novel.” —London Sunday Times (UK) “Outstanding. . . . [Mr. Scott is] a writer who has thoroughly mastered his material and who can . . . work through a maze of fascinating detail without for a moment losing sight of distant and considerable objectives.” —Times Literary Supplement (UK)
