Rastignac The Devil

Rastignac The Devil

by Philip Jose Farmer

In a world ruled by reptilian and amphibian creatures, human colonists are forced to wear living skins that suppress aggression and enforce vegetarianism. Rastignac, a young boy who rejects this imposed lifestyle, rebels alongside his reptile friend, Mapfarity. Together, they embrace carnivory and forge a philosophy of violence, driven by the pursuit of protein. When an Earth spaceship crash-lands on their planet, Rastignac and his companions are thrust into a desperate struggle for survival, facing challenges that test the limits of their beliefs and the very nature of their existence.
