“You can read that … what does it say?”

– Excerpt from Doc’s Brain.
Following a stomach-turning Ford Tri-Motor flight to Manaus, followed by a treacherous upriver voyage into the heart of the Amazon, Doc and his local guide, Ephrain, make contact with a circumspect tribal elder warning that others have already passed through his village in search of a legendary alien shipwreck.
