About this audiobook
The timely story of how the forces of change converge on a small tribe of Niaruna Indians living in the heart of the Amazon rain forest. In addition to being a prophetic commentary on emerging threats to the environment, and the troublesome encroachment of the modern world on traditional cultures, the novel is a suspenseful adventure story about two men striving to find meaning in a world not their own.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Book describes truth among many different lies used to control people, and gain their organization into dominant people’s preferred mastery of them. Writing is skilled and that in itself is reason enough to read it. Premise is hopelessness on one hand, and transcendental on the other.
