This is a suspenseful story about a six-year-old boy named Billy
Smith, his mother, Marnie, a little, green turtle named Ned
October.
Coming of age in the drug culture of the 1960s and '70s led many
young people to "turn on, tune in, and drop out"-experimenting with
every available drug, chasing that ultimate high while looking for
someone with whom they could share it. Thinking themselves
invincible, they did not realize that they were flirting with
danger-although they knew enough to stay below the radar of law
enforcement while indulging in the pleasures offered in The Age of
Aquarius. One such naive young man slides into the drug underworld
with barely a ripple after a life-altering trip as a student to
Spain and four years spent in Afghanistan. There, he realizes for
the first time that drugs, like any other business, bring money and
power-especially the selling of Afghan hashish. While selling tons
of hashish to his friends in America, along the way he began
experimenting with opium...and then pharmaceutical morphine. After
many years, his tolerance to this drug became immense. Each
injection could have killed a horse, but Bobby Legend barely felt
the high, not as he had when he first began experimenting with the
drug. And once his kingdom fell, he brought his overpowering
addiction to America, where his relative peace was shattered by
unexpected world events.
