It is high noon in the Amazon, and Whitehill is lost. In his Brooks Brothers pants, this lawyer from the Midwest is easily the best-dressed man in the jungle. Unfortunately, he's no Indiana Jones. Shanghaied by an evil botanist, Whitehill becomes the unwitting guest of a series of Indian tribes: the copycat Cofoya, the college-educated Lotimone, the barely human mole men, and the hostile Tsavi. He meets the strangest set of characters since The Gods Must Be Crazy and gets hopelessly entangled in environmental intrigue. A Guest in the Jungle explores the intense nuances of the conflict between civilization and nature, resolving the paradox of their merging.
