In the years immediately following World War I, a young
anthropologist named Jesse O'Keefe ventures into the Andean
backwoods to find a culture worthy of study. There he stumbles upon
the Rixtirra, a complex society fixated on locating a legendary
Mountain Made of Light that these people believe offers a sanctuary
from the modern world. Jesse soon finds himself caught up in this
culture's political and religious machinations and, worse yet, in
conflict with Forster Beckwith--an aristocratic interloper whose
presence further endangers Jesse's life. The ensuing adventures
have prompted some reviewers to call this book "the thinking
person's Indiana Jones"--a breathtaking "lost race" novel that is
also an allegory about the inner journey toward what matters most.
