I got this book having no idea what it was about, but thought it looked cool. Holy cow, was I in for a shock. I read all 356 pages in one day; I couldn't put it down. There was never a dull moment as Erich Linden discovered this new world and questioned morality. Fair warning that it is very dark and gruesome. It is not for the squeamish. I loved it from an uncle becoming stepdad, hermaphrodite brother, naked Indians, and more.
*OLD REVIEW* This is about a family whose plane crashed in the jungle. The youngest brother is hermaphroditic, the stepdad is a doctor. There is a brutal climax - the mum gets eaten by pirhanas while she is on her period. The tribespeople think the family are 'dolphins'. I think the remaining brother escapes. Great story, quite brutal but cool.
