EARTHMAN

Rate this book
A young boy and his little brother venture out into the jungle on a quest of manhood to seek out the King of the Jungle, a large silverback gorilla, and smack him on the ass, to restore their honour.This is a story that I imagine would have happened (if it could have happened), about 300,000 years ago. Maybe 400,000 years ago. The people are not quite homo-sapiens, but a step or two behind in the line of evolution; they are still people.

There is a character known as the Old One. If I think enough about it, I imagine he can't be older than his forties. The main character's grandfather, Papa Gus, I imagine would be only in his twenties. I imagine a lot about these people. But these people are also animals, primates, but for the purposes of the story, have the minds of humans. It's a fantasy work in an ancient animal kingdom. There is an amount of imagination, and a suspension of disbelief required to enjoy this story, but I promise you, if you are up for it, it is an adventure that would be happy to have you.

There is a lot of original artwork alongside the story. In future editions, I hope to include even more artwork.

This story follows a man that (in my head canon is homo habilis or homo rectus) going on a short journey to figure out who he is as a person. This novel has a good weighing of humor, drama and action that makes it an easy and quick read. While there is some very mild crude humor I wouldn't suggest for younger readers I believe it is a great book for young adults to enjoy.
