ABOUT
THE BOOK

On an ill-fated art expedition into the southern Shan state of Burma, eleven Americans leave their Floating
Island Resort for a Christmas-morning tour-and disappear. Through twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical book of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and destruction of the Myanmar military regime.
