Description
Memo is the last living elephant – or so he believes. The world and the giant walled city of Mutantis in which he lives are ruled by the evil supercreature Gorgon and his ruthless Order of Wasp High Priests. Out in the mean streets of Mutantis brutal Warhogs patrol, always on the lookout for any signs of resistance.
In his struggle to unravel the mystery of his origins, Memo experiences an extraordinary vision of a peaceful green world guided by the Hierophants with their sacred Kites. His quest to become a true Hierophant leads Memo and his friends on an exciting and dangerous adventure with Gorgon’s ruthless forces pitted against them.
A unique cast of characters animates this book – Fender the daredevil taxi-driving crocodile, Dr Orbit Quark, the eccentric chameleon whose colours have been stolen by Gorgon, the sinister Snape-Man Pythononmous and his partner in crime, Spartacus the Spider, as well as many other bio-mechanically and genetically engineered creatures.
The Legend of Memo the Hierophant is a dazzlingly original book, a futuristic fantasy with a metaphysical quality. It is told in energetic prose and in colourful and detailed illustrations on every page, brilliantly evoking the bizarre world of Mutantis and, in contrast, the mystical green Mountain of Dreams which Memo sets out to find.
