The Aviators of Xibalba

Bag om The Aviators of Xibalba

Xibalbá - the jungle - is a pristine den for animals large and small. From the cockpit of an old Curtiss Robin, its pilot wonders of the beauty and dangers below... Consumed by greed a wealthy German pilot, his lustful wife, a crew of misfit pilots, and a posse of gum-harvesting natives, invade the jungle looking for the treasures therein, but unfailingly stumble onto a collective frenzy that binds them to the roots of its forest, preventing their escape before their time is due. These men are fugitives running away from a conscience that chases them - seeking retribution for their transgressions. They start from points nearby and remote to come to Xibalbá because, once there, they know. Xibalbá offers atonement. They can be absolved of their remorse... their guilt. But to do this, they must journey into the treacherous land of the ancient Mayan jungle, known as Xibalbá.
