Description

Ed Abbey's Hayduke Lives! tells the story of George Washington Hayduke III, who finds himself in another precarious situation. After his last adventure, he is reunited with his old comrades to battle against a powerful foe: the massive earthmoving machine known as GOLIATH. Their fight is not just against a machine, but also against those who seek to exploit the natural world. Abbey's novel is full of humorous and satirical takes on environmental activism and the development industry. He pokes fun at the pretensions of some activists while still conveying his passion for the natural world. The result is a tale that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. With its mix of action, politics, and humor, Hayduke Lives! is an engaging read that will appeal to fans of Abbey's earlier work, The Monkey Wrench Gang.
