This is the story of Benedict Allen's extraordinary quest to
immerse himself in the heart of New Guinea, and learn the secrets
of the people's harmonious communion with the forest. Living among
missionaries in West Papua, he heard talk of the mysterious Obini,
and set out on an arduous journey to meet them - only to find
himself fleeing for his life in the jungle. Undeterred, he sought
out members of a tribal crocodile cult who would permit him to take
part in their traditional initiation rites into manhood, and
finally became the first white man to be honoured with this
privilege. But this was the beginning of a punishing ordeal, as
Allen joined his fellow initiates in seclusion for weeks, enduring
crocodile markings being carved into their skins, until finally,
pushed to the limits of endurance, they came to embody the
crocodile spirit.
