A female anthropologist accepts a research job in remote eastern Indonesia under dubious circumstances, and undergoes a severe survival ordeal.

When graduate student Kirana Nindita, accepts an anthropology research job in a remote part of eastern Indonesia, under dubious circumstances she becomes the immediate victim of circumstances which impel her through an entire series of terrifying engagements in which her survival seems increasingly unlikely. It is only by developing a tenacious will to fight for survival that she is able to negotiate her way through increasingly complex sets of circumstances, which remain unpredictable and overwhelming.

Holding six degrees in philosophy, English, and comparative literature, Dwight Brooks, Ph.D. also spent over a decade on the ground in some of the most remote and dangerous areas in Indonesia. His postdoctoral researches concentrated on the former Dutch Colonial Empire in Indonesia (‘Insulinde’), and he is also a specialist in Early Modern Dutch. Brooks lives on the Big Island of Hawaii, and devotes himself to writing mainly historical, but also modern novels about the South Pacific.
