Tropical Passion: The Odyssey of a Bronze Age tribe

Strong passions and a clash of cultures between tribes, propel Bandri and his family tribe into unforeseen circumstances, and towards a remarkable future. The tribe confront threats to their way of life and to their survival, and their legend weaves together the many strands of passion: romance, love, yearning and sex, together with moral and physical conflicts.
The drama is set against the backdrop of the exotic, coastal forests of the tropical Pacific islands and within the working lives of a fishing and hunting society 2,500 years ago. Tribal beliefs, the use of bronze, the impact of the natural environment, the pursuit of honey hunting and other cultural activities play integral roles in this adventurous saga.
(This novel is based on geographical and scientific facts, plus the available historical evidence. Issues such as the abduction of women and polygamy were common practises in many tribal societies, and still exist in some present day societies. The informative accounts of the natural environment are completely realistic, and the human-made artifacts in the story are based on genuine examples from the time.)
