"Here is pin pointed the life of a typical small outpost of civilisation, Kundavi, with its tiny population of Australians and Europeans, of whom Roy Narvo, a Patrol Officer, is the natural leader by reason of physique and personality as much as by official position.  His is a great responsibility: he is worried about the outbreak among the natives of the mysterious laughing death disease known as kuru: there is warfare, too, savage and primitive, in the forest."
