"A genuine quest for the myths of the unconscious. . . . [A work of] true power." --Andrew Sinclair

"From the Trade Paperback edition."

From the Back Cover

Inspired by his friend Ed Morell, who spent five years in the barbaric San Quentin jail, The Star Rover is a searing indictment of a violent and corrupt penal system. Describing the brutality of a life behind bars, it explores the power of imagination to transcend physical hardship, and ultimately sustain hope.

This new Rebel Inc. edition has specially commissioned pieces by two Scottish lifers who have experienced at first-hand the inhumanity of prison life.
