Tribesmen murdered in Papua New Guinea. A shaman brutally killed in the Amazon. Mercenary commandos infiltrating biolabs across the globe. Billionaire Umberto Morton will stop at nothing to assure he is the first to patent the Fountain of Youth. He has transformed his worldwide pharmaceutical empire to a single effort; he calls it the Methuselah Project.Welcome to Madagascar: land of exotic spiders, land leeches, jumping rats, crocodiles, hissing cockroaches, and the mysterious predator called the fossa. And maybe, land that is hiding a secret elixir, the Fountain of Youth.Harvard entomologist, Trygve Lindstrom, has accepted Morton's generous six-month sabbatical to a remote village in Madagascar. For centuries, mariner's reports and missionary accounts claim that these reclusive villagers, the Rock People, may have found the secret to youth and longevity. Lindstrom scoffs at the tales, but leaps at a chance to collect and study rare bugs. In time, he is accepted by the villagers, especially the children who joyfully accompany him on his collecting journeys. Then the unthinkable happens. Morton sends two armed commandoes to Madagascar. Lindstrom is determined to protect his beloved villagers and their sacred secret. But what can he do against armed intruders?

If you go into the woods today, chances are still good that you could come back with your own bear story. Whether it's with black bears, grizzly bears, polar bears or even circus bears, the encounter usually gets the adrenalin pumping. Whatever the details, the result is always a story that will be retold many times. Thirteen such accounts of the truly terrifying comprise this collection of stories by raconteur Jim Nelson, including these gripping tales: * A roustabout down on his luck is tempted into the illegal trade of bear parts, only to find that without bad luck he would have no luck at all * A young woman living alone in a wilderness cabin imagines she is being stalked--until the sound of window glass breaking wakens her in the night * Among the Hutterite boys out in cow-camp, a meandering bear is a target of interest--but it is actually a skunk that will ultimately prove to be their undoing * The bears we imagine are always more terrible than the ones we encounter--or so a film-maker believes until he finds himself running faster than he can think.
