"A journey into the unknown. Cape Town, 1924: Mathew Travis, a discontented boat-repairman caught up in a dull and aimless existence, sets out on a quest to realize his boyhood dream of exploring the Amazon. Together with Jack Byrne, a brazen American bent on fulfilling his long-dead father’s ambition, and Hans Kessler, an obsessive German historian searching for an emerald mine, he ventures deep into the vast Brazilian rainforest. Day and night of hardship in the unforgiving jungle environment erodes Travis’ romantic sentiments of the Amazon and exposes his shortcomings as an explorer. But this pales before the events that befall him when he crosses the frontiers of the known world and enters the territory of bloodthirsty cannibals. In the savage heart of an uncharted wilderness, his fight for survival takes on epic proportions and leads him to a discovery, as he puts it, ‘unimagined by man’."--Front cover flap.
