About This Book

The story brings together disparate travelers who become stranded in an isolated African mountain realm, including an aviatrix who parachutes into a hidden valley and other outsiders whose separate safaris and flights converge. A prologue ties distant past events to present circumstances, and the narrative alternates exploration of perilous terrain, encounters with native groups and violent customs, and human treachery. A powerful jungle figure intervenes to confront natural hazards and schemes among men, steering the group toward survival and resolution.
