When a nameless, struggling actor in 1970s New York gets the call that an enigmatic director wants him for an art film set in the Amazon, he doesn’t hesitate: he flies to Colombia, no questions asked. He quickly realizes he’s made a mistake. He’s replacing another actor who quit after seeing the script—a script the director now claims doesn’t exist. The movie is over budget. The production team seems headed for a breakdown. The air is so wet that the celluloid film disintegrates.

But what the actor doesn’t realize is that the greatest threat might be the town itself, and the mysterious shadow economy that powers this remote jungle outpost. Entrepreneurial Americans, international drug traffickers, and M-19 guerillas are all fighting for Colombia’s future—and the groups aren’t as distinct as you might think. The actor thought this would be a role that would change his life. Now he’s worried whether he’ll survive it.

The author has specifically said that Cannibal Holocaust was her inspiration.

I've just started it. I read a little bit of everything in my Kindle, because I didn't know what I was in the mood for. This was the only thing that was good. I like it so far. Even though I have an idea of what is going to happen based on how it is structured and the inspiration, it still has some little mysteries from the beginning that have me interested in seeing how it goes.

I'm really loving this. I like that there is so much going on, and that each of the characters have their own issues. It helps to build suspense, since most of the cast could lose it at any time. The way they do it is realistic, since most people aren't going to go film a movie in the jungle without a script. The only reason I haven't finished it is that I lost my kindle charger.

I'm going to write a full review later, but I'm planning on adding this to my shelf of favorites. I \loved it.
