About This Book
The narrative follows three young men from a coastal city who penetrate the Andean interior during a period of wartime upheaval and economic transition, confronting avalanches, predatory animals, hostile tribes, and close escapes while exploring high mountain passes, jungle rivers, and remote forts. Interwoven are descriptions of political and commercial shifts—railway concessions, foreign syndicates, and changing economies—and episodes of pursuit, revenge, mysterious disappearance, blockades, and appeals to foreign powers as the region adjusts in the conflict's aftermath.
