Book description
When he's down, kick for the head and groin. Avoid cops. Play it cool.
There aren't many rules in the primer for gang kids, but they all count.
They're all easily understood, because they use a simple and sound
philosophy - it's a stinking life, so get your kicks while you can. The
gang is home, take what you want, tell them nothing - and don't get
caught. Two gangs of juvenile delinquents run riot in New York City.
They constantly try to outdo each other with their clothes, weapons,
language and lack of morals. They are not just kids playing at war--they
mean business. The only person who can infiltrate the gang is someone
they can trust, someone like themselves. Someone who knows how to handle
a knife and a gun. . . Harlan Ellison is a multiple Hugo and Nebula
Award winning writer and editor. He wrote the script for the hugely
popular Star Trek episode, The City on the Edge of Forever, the Nebula
Award-winning novella, A Boy and his Dog, and many acclaimed stories
including 'Shatterday' and 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream'. His
groundbreaking anthology Dangerous Visions was instrumental in defining
the New Wave movement. Harlan Ellison lives in Los Angeles.
