Description
Summary:What's a cyborg turtle to do when his shell is torn in two? It's a fair question in the bizarre, compelling world of Mr. Turtle. Kame-kun (Mr. Turtle) is a hero in a half shell of an altogether different sort, a killing machine designed for combat who wants to enjoy the simple pleasures of daily life -- working his blue-collar job, going to the library, and typing on his laptop -- even as he is haunted by vague memories of a war on Jupiter. To determine his future he must piece together his past, navigating an unsympathetic society toward revealing the novel's philosophical heartbeat.
