Until recently, Matt was just a clone grown from a strip of El Patr n's skin. Now he is lord of the land of Opium, on the one-time US-Mexico border, and rules over an army of microchipped, zombielike workers who are programmed to produce the drugs that are Opium's main export. El Patr n kept the air and water in Opium clean, but the rest of the world is a polluted wasteland.
