"Inspired by the mythical serpent Ouroboros, Ben Newman takes the reader on a tale of action and adventure that juxtaposes brutal violence with ecstatic comic exuberance, where our protagonist fights a band of rogue, thuggish, drug peddling perverts after they murder his newly beloved mermaid.

Brought to life in a world of Newman's trademark bold style and visually arresting use of colour and timing; Newman plays with the theme of life and rebirth until the story's final punch line. As described in the book '(life) is that which is forever done, but which may not be undone, it is life and death intertwined. Both chicken and the egg… but also Sunday dinner'."
