From Booklist:
Last man alive Yorick Brown's kidnapped monkey Ampersand, who may be carrying the antidote to whatever killed off all the other males, is bound for Japan, but he, his bodyguard-escort agent 355, and cloning scientist Alison Mann are in Sydney, Australia, a fueling stop for the ship they've hitched a ride on. Of course, Yorick's fiancee, Beth, is somewhere in the outback, and he wants to get in touch. He wangles shore leave under 355's chaperonage to gather info on Beth's whereabouts, and things, as they will, happen. Soon Yorick's portrait, pants around his ankles, is on the cover of America's favorite tabloid. Meanwhile, back shipboard, lesbian Alison is seduced by a mole for the captain; in the U.S., Yorick's gun-toting sister finds the other Beth bearing Yorick's baby; and on another ship approaching Japan, Ampersand spots an opening. Flashbacks about 355 and Ampersand mortar the three plot streams together, and moody, crepuscular coloring by Zylonol makes the seventh volume of Y one of the handsomest as well as one of the most engaging.
