About the book
Lynx-eyed, he looked more devil than man
That was Rebel Storm's first--and lasting--impression of Luiz Manchete, self-appointed king of the Amazon jungle. Appropriately, the natives called him Curupira, the wild man.
Rebel wanted to do anthropological research in the heart of the jungle--a venture that Luiz savagely opposed.
She refused to take no for an answer... then suddenly found herself caught between primitive head-hunting natives and the equally dangerous Curupira!
