Synopsis

George Washington Hayduke III was last seen clinging to a rock face in the wilds of Utah as an armed posse hunted him down for his eco-radicalist crimes. Now he is back with a fiery need for vengeance.

In this sequel to the enormously popular and entertaining The Monkey Wrench Gang, Hayduke teams up with his old pals Doc Sarvis, Seldom Seen Smith, and Bonnie Abbzug in a battle against the world's biggest earth-moving machine. Fundamentalist preacher Dudley Love, the mastermind behind "G O L I A T H," wants to turn the Grand Canyon into a uranium mine, but not if eco-warrior Hayduke and his group of committed environmentalist friends have anything to say about it.

Hayduke Lives! is full of noisy politics and seemingly improbable situations (yet all too real) that showcase Abbey's energetic prose and his infectious comic genius as a writer.

Allllllrighty so I am going to assume the batshit craziness of this book has something to do with it being published a year after Abbey passed. It had its moments, but the juicy plot points were drowned out by unnecessary fodder. The main crew still rocks, though.......more

Goodreads review by Will on April 30, 2024

Reading this book, it is hard not to embrace your anarchic side and go tip over bulldozers for Mother Nature. The characters are this story, their weirdo personalities alone make it engaging compelling. I really like Edward Abbey’s writing style and his messages of questioning authority and resistin......more
