Author: Peter Matthiessen
The setting of this wild, beautiful and haunting novel is the Amazon Jungle, at once majestic and malevolent; the principal characters are four fundamentalist missionaries and a soldier of fortune; and the plot concerns their fanatical conflict over the fate of a primitive and dangerous tribe of jungle indians.

What a dissappointing book! I really expected much more, but it was really boring.

This is one of the best books I have EVER read. Evangelical missionaries go into the jungle to save a savage Indian tribe. The local government is corrupt and there are mercenaries in the mix. I feel like I was there with them!
