Why this must be read:
It’s got Dr. Eli Stoddard as a whiny idiot, riding his gasping alpaca and demanding that Blair berate the Mexican guides, and Blair telling the guides to drink Stoddard’s beer instead. It’s got Jim asking, "Chief, want to be Jim's new lookout-buddy?” It’s got Inchara referring to Richard Burton as Great-Great-Uncle Dick. What more could one want?

“Deep in the La Montana region of Peru lies a little Chopec village cut off from the rest of the civilized world. Well, except for the BBC Radio cricket matches faithfully followed every Sunday morning on an old two-way salvaged from a plane wreck. And the inexplicable annual arrival of the Christmas Neiman-Marcus catalog addressed to the village shaman. (Fred and Julie Shamanson of New York City are similarly puzzled by the annual arrival of a battered package containing shell nose-ornaments, tobacco, and dead howler monkeys.)

Into this peaceful jungle community came a white child whose arrival from the heavens one morning early in the rainy season stunned the little village and would change its destiny forever.”

I *loved* this fic, one of the first I read in my recent Sentinel reading spree - and I have you to thank for it, Peppercim. One of the few fics where I had to stop reading because I was doubled up from laughing and it hurt..*g*
