Description: "Jose is a politics lecturer on the theoretical wing of Sendero Luminoso, the Maoist revolutionary group. Hugo is a Brit, an aerospace salesman with a deal to tie up in Brazil. His hero Henry Meiggs was the buccaneering builder of railways in nineteenth-century Peru." "Strange Tunnels Disappearing is a compulsive exploration of obsessional characters forced together in rural Peru. Its contemplative tone is turned on its head by Jose's younger sister Julia when terrorist action intrudes a jarring shock for which neither Jose nor Hugo are prepared and which demands action of which neither thought themselves capable."--BOOK JACKET.
