In the heart of the contemporary Brazilian rainforest,
Dan Backwood has built a launch site for his revolutionary reusable rocket.
As soon as he brings the rocket into it, he is beset by nationalist partisans
led by his old schoolmate Keith Fernside, now an ecologist working in Brazil.
While Keith, a revengeful man who blames Dan for his fall, keeps assailing
him, Dan has to face the local military that plan to build a type of Maginot
Line in the rainforest, launching a satellite with his vehicle. The United
Nations intervenes, and Dan finds himself stuck between the Brazilian and
the U.N. military commanders.
However, there exists an early version of this novel, The Rainforestmen, not adapted to the U.S. writing rules. "To write The Rainforestmen was more enjoyable since I was free to write about my country, about the themes I had researched, the themes I had in my mind. I think both versions show the difference between the European and American approach to literature."

of this early version.
