Description
by
Edward Myers (Author)
In the years immediately following World War I, a young anthropologist named Jesse O’Keefe ventures into the Andean backwoods to find a culture worthy of study. There he stumbles upon the Rixtirra, a complex society fixated on locating a legendary Mountain Made of Light that these people believe offers a sanctuary from the modern world. Jesse soon finds himself caught up in this culture’s political and religious machinations and, worse yet, in conflict with Forster Beckwith–an aristocratic interloper whose presence further endangers Jesse’s life. The ensuing adventures have prompted some reviewers to call this book “the thinking person’s Indiana Jones”–a breathtaking “lost race” novel that is also an allegory about the inner journey toward what matters most.
