The Sick Ape of the title dwells in the mind. Although that's not the first consideration of this tale. First there's the accident of meeting of two divorced and embittered fathers, then comes a cooking and eating of meals, followed by a marriage of disgruntled minds. The consequence of which leads to the pair of them getting labelled terrorists – all within a book dedicated to non-terrorists – with them finally, and during, seeking to resolve their campaign in different ways. One being death. One being this book. An everyday tale of terrorist folk.
