East OF E...den

The Trask brothers' relationship is the archetypal sibling rivalry. Charles attacks Adam's tendency to criticize; while Adam insists that he must criticize Charles for working early in the morning. Adam, in return, goes on long international trips. And into this amalgam of argument and tension, comes Cathy. Long story short, Cathy is cared for, gets married to Adam, and sleeps with her fellow manipulator Charles.
Part TWO! It begins with a discussion on avarice, conflict, and the tendency of people to forget about past injustices and instead looking ahead. Adam and Cathy move to the Salinas Valley (finally...) where she is quick to stir something up and fails miserably in an attempted abortion. Charles drinks himself into impotence. Adam and Sam Hamilton meet and make plans for future dealings.

Will Cathy be able to make things go badly for Adam?

Cathy might not necessarily make Adam fail, but she will surely prove detrimental to his goals in the future
