The Lord of Opium, the sequel to Nancy Farmer's 'The House of the Scorpion,' continues the story of Matteo Alacrán, a young clone of the drug lord El Patrón. After El Patrón's death, Matt inherits control of Opium, a country situated between the United States and what was once Mexico, which is the hub of the drug trade and home to fields of opium poppies. As the new Lord of Opium, Matt must navigate the complexities of his newfound power and the expectations placed upon him. He is determined to use his authority to improve the lives of the people, especially the eejits—humans with computer chips in their brains, rendering them mindless slaves—who work the poppy fields. Matt's journey is fraught with challenges, including political intrigue, the threat of war, and the moral dilemmas of leadership. He also seeks to find a way to free the eejits and to cultivate a relationship with Maria, a girl he cares for. Throughout the novel, Matt grapples with his identity, the legacy of El Patrón, and his desire to create a better world without succumbing to the corruption and violence that characterized his predecessor's rule.
