Environmentalist Paul Symon is out to make the world a better place. But he's overwhelmed by too much disjointed information, too much public apathy, too much talk and not enough action. Not to mention the opposition of successful and greedy venture capitalist Jerry Landis, who is dying of a rare disease. Landis cares about only two things - making even more money, and finding a way to arrest his medical condition. He'll go to any lengths to do either.
That brings Landis and his fortune to the wild frontiers of biotechnology, cross-species transplants and genetically altered primates. Paul is on the trail of this clandestine research, but there's also an eco-terrorist on the loose bent on teaching Landis and his likes some very hard lessons. These forces, together with 40,000 extra-large chacma baboons, collide in an explosion of laughter and wonder.
