Julius, the Caesar of Rats, narrates his pithy story about Manuela, Gazela, Ernesto and the scrappy ship PescaBom. Ernesto mixes a caipirinha for Manuela as he plots and plans how to insert carbon feeds into babies' epiglottides. Lively action ensues involving Glocks, mudfish, fleas, a sexually unbalanced mother and beaching pilots. Julius addresses the reader from his perch in the thorny burning bush - when he is not being shot at. BE WARNED, BE WARNED: the rat's language may be FOUL to your ears.
