In the third novel, Colonel Pyatt dreams and plans his way from New York to Hollywood, from Cairo to Marrakech, from cult success to the lower limits of sexual degradation, living the mistakes and disappointments of life, going through the worst nightmares of the century. In this novel, Murcock from Piata's life made an epic and comical adventure. The continuity of his dreams and depraved fantasies, his desire to hide from reality - all this leads only to the fact that he runs from crisis to crisis, and each of his tricks becomes only a link in a chain of deception and betrayal. But, passing through self-deception, through his distorted visions, this completely unreliable narrator becomes a lens through which the wildest farce and chilling horrors turn into the difficult truth of life.
