"Fear is something I don't think you experience unless you have a choice. If you have a choice, then you're liable to be afraid. But without a choice, what is there to be afraid of? You just go along doing what has to be done."
After surviving a plane crash on a sight-seeing trip, a wounded trio make their way through the tropical countryside and meet up with native people.
Pretty well-written although the author sometimes adds tedious and unnecessary details.
