The binding is in good condition, the pages are clean but lightly tanned. The cover shows light wear. The jacket is edge worn and very toned, there is a tiny hole in the front and the spine is darkened. Good in acceptable dust-jacket. Hardcover.

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.
