Description: Illinois, Salt River. 2005, First Edition. (ISBN: 0842364390). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine non priceclipped dustjacket. The author was only five years old when his father was brutally killed by Waodani warriors in Ecuador, men from the most savage culture ever known, but in a story almost too amazing to be true, Steve Saint eventually comes to know and even love the very ones who drove the spears into his father's body. Decades after the spearing, Steve and his family make the difficult choice to leave behind a comfortable life in the United States and return to the jungle to live among the Waodani people. An adventure story that is part Indiana Jones, part time travel, part romance, and part spiritual quest, and also the inspiration for a motion picture. 26 illustrations. 13. Fine/Near Fine.
