About book

The three adventurers, McKay, Ryan and Knowlton, return to the jungles of Ecuador and Peru in search of their friend, David Rand, who has not returned from an expedition researching the headhunting Jiveros of the Amazon jungle.

Knowing they would need help to track down the Jiveros that David was thought to have searched for, they seek the aid of their long-time partner José Martinez, who they had not seen since he took up the mantle of King of the White Ones. José joins the quest, and brings along a troupe of warrior-hunters, and a captured priestess who he wishes to return to her people.

As the team sets out through the South American jungle, it becomes evident that things are not quite as they first appeared. Not the beautiful priestess, not the deadly Jiveros, and not even their friend José and his warriors.
