Jungle Justice

They planned the perfect getaway. The jungle had other plans.

The World Revolutionary Alliance has spent months proving they can strike anywhere - bombings, assassinations, a small fortune stolen in broad daylight. Their leader, Axel Kruger, is certain nothing can stop them. So when they seize a room full of international diplomats and ransom them for millions, the escape plan runs exactly as designed: hostage jet, hostage helicopter, private plane waiting on the other side of the border.

Except the helicopter never makes it. A sabotaged engine forces them down in the one place Kruger never planned for - a thousand miles of uncharted jungle with no roads out and no one coming to save them.

Stranded with their hostages, the WRA quickly discovers that ideology means nothing to a crocodile, a fever, a snakebite, or a wild boar. And it means even less to the people who already live in this jungle, who are watching every step the intruders take.

Caught in the middle are Lt. Steven Gage, a policeman who volunteered for this mission undercover, and Shelly Summers, a flight attendant hiding a mission of her own. As the jungle picks off captor after captor, the only real question left is whether anyone gets out of it alive.

Jungle World is the unproduced screenplay of Verland T. Whipple, presented here in its original screenplay format, together with a full plot synopsis for readers who want the complete story from page to page.
