Summary

"On a post-apocalyptic Earth, where mankind has regressed to a handful of primitive tribes hunting and foraging for a meager, oppressed existence, a lone black child, shunned by other members of his tribe, sets out on an epic journey to what used to be known as New York, land of the gods! This unusual hero's journey is a memorable examination of a child's compassion--and the human race's cruelty"--
