When Elizabeth Smith follows her father to the newly discovered jungles of Africa, she meets more than just exotic wildlife. The small village, the beginnings of a new English colony, sits just inside the jungle. And inside the jungle resides a mystery - a man named Edward Jungleson. The villagers know only what he allows them to know; and they know not to venture too far into the trees after him. But not Elizabeth. She allows her curiosity to get ahold of her, finding herself lost in the middle of the African jungle. A stampede of elephants comes crashing towards her - until she finds herself swinging high in the vines with the one and only jungle man : Edward. He doesn't know why he saved her. The foreign people know to stay out of his home; so why did he save her when he allows the others their fate? Edward, a man raised by the jungle, finds himself drawn to the lovely, innocent woman. The jungle isn't a place for romance. But then again, it isn't exactly a place to live either. ((Loosely fantasized off of Tarzan the Ape Man, by Edgar Rice Burroughs.))

"The jungle encircles a golden network of lights bright enough to match the moon, a megacity bigger than London, taller than New York. It stretches out below us, its silver light screaming out of every inch and orifice. I can see palaces with their spires fashioned in the style of claws, skyscrapers corkscrew into the sky like drill picks jutting from the centre of the earth. Dotted around these are blue pyramids made of something that burns the eye, shops, warehouses, halls, walls and things that twist the brain and bewitch the eye, towers summited with beacons of frozen light, every building seems an architectural impossibility built from this bronze matter. A stone path of painted gold snakes its way around impassable stalactites tipped with silver snow and slowly makes its way across the forest on its path to the city.
I stand a figure on the edge of this, less than an ant against the background of an Olympus."
Victor is stranded in a world gone mad.
