Aprašymas

Jeb is one of the toughest men alive, and he demands respect. When the cops find semen on his blankets, and it isn't even human, he sets out on a trail of vengeance. In company with his intuitive horse Rooster, it leads him to the evil Dr. Schmitt-Rottluff, the gaslight era's virtuoso of illicit cloning and mind-bending manipulation of the human genome. Rife with the bizarre juxtaposition of psycho-sexual elements, 'On the Nature of the Gods' is a superb parody of the steam-punk weird western with elements of bedroom comedy genre. Undefeated in a hundred and thirty-eight bouts, Jeb Snead may be the toughest man in a totally plastic world. It's too bad he doesn't have much of a sense of humour and might even be a little insecure. Rufe Golan is the son of a rich man, a smooth-talker and an inveterate foot-fetishist. Hope Ng, starved for attention or entertainment, is heading to San Francisco to live with her grandfather when her wagon train is massacred. The buxom but leggy Miss Muriel Kitty, a professional working woman-cat-thing, and wise in the ways of the world, provides a valuable service in frontier society. The evil Doctor Schmitt-Rottluff surrounds himself with willing tools and useful fools, some of them the product of a little too much inbreeding in test-tubes. Chapley, his alleged black nephew and Waylon, his acknowledged 'taurian son, Nazi gryphons, erudite Injuns who read Latin and mischievous spirits who just want to see what happens next, fill out a never-before-seen, all-star cast in Louis B. Shalako's killer debut in this genre. Who doesn't like telempathic horses and equine romance, or casually-stated themes of miscegenation, and illicit cloning?
