The title character Diamond Palladium narrates a perilous journey, which is familiar to some, known to a few, but told by none. The story begins in the nineteen seventies when Palladium is born into total chaos and rescued by a strong woman. He embarks upon an odyssey, which is all too natural in regards to his genetic coding, but contrary to his moral home teachings. This serious life threatening, life-loosing narrative gives a unique view into the actuality of clandestine events that take place subsequent to young adults leaving their parents nest.
