A young slave boy is named and numbered 47 on a nineteenth-century
Georgia plantation and encounters the brutality and injustice of
the system of slavery. 47 meets a strange being named Tall John who
appears to be another slave boy - a runaway. But as 47 comes to
realise, John is an extraterrestrial visitor who believes that his
destiny is intertwined with the young slave's. Tall John is a
science fiction creation but he is also a reinterpretation of High
John the Conqueror - a character taken from old slave myths about a
spirit come from Africa to confound the slave masters and
(ultimately) to free all slaves.
