520    In this luminous novel, the all-too-human experiences of 
       fear, love and loss become amplified with potentially 
       disastrous consequences. In 1960s Brazil, an indigenous 
       group is on the brink of a tragedy, the dimensions of 
       which they are only beginning to grasp. A small band of 
       disaffected government agents, academics and visionaries 
       is determined to fight for their cause. Among them is 
       James Ardmore who, along with his nephew Larry, travels to
       Pahquel, a village in the crosshairs of an environmental 
       showdown. When James dies en route, Larry is left to 
       decide: Should he attempt to escape his own personal 
       demons by immersing himself in a completely foreign 
       culture? Or retreat and resume his disaffected life in the
       U.S.?  What costs will he bear if he chooses to press 
       forward? Against a lush backdrop, the author gives voice 
       to the complexities of social, anthropological and 
       environmental forces. This is a page-turner of an 
       adventure story that rests upon the deep and unsettling 
       layers of undergrowth. - amazon.com
