From the publisher

Following the route taken by British explorer Ivan Champion in 1927, and amid breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, Salak traveled across this remote Pacific island-often called the last frontier of adventure travel--by dugout canoe and on foot. Along the way, she stayed in a village where cannibalism was still practiced behind the backs of the missionaries, met the leader of the OPM--the separatist guerrilla movement opposing the Indonesian occupation of Western New Guinea--and undertook an epic trek through the jungle.

The New York Times said Kira Salak is tough, a real-life Lara Croft. And Edward Marriott, proclaimed Four Corners to be A travel book that transcends the genreIt is, like all the best travel narratives, a resonant interior journey, and offers wisdom for our times.
