Description: Eco-terrorists take the law into their own hands and embark on a "beautification" program of Arizona and Utah. Their ultimate goal is to blow up the Glen Canyon Dam, and along the way this team of misfits--A.K. (Doc) Sarvis, Bonnie Abzug, George Hayduke, and Seldom Seen Smith--wreak havoc across the Southwest. Readers may also enjoy the humorous and sophisticated novels of John Barth, Michael Malone, Carl Hiaasen, and James W. Hall. (Description by: Joyce Saricks).
