The Soviets never forgave a defection. Dr. von Wilhelmina, the brilliant MIT scientist turned conductor knew that his life and that of the Russian Nadia depended on disappearing forever. They would begin a new life among the Cashibo indians and do everything possible to protect their little Mutants.
But the newly minted Oppenheimer family had forgotten about the ancient Enemy. Someone who would know where they were and the terrible danger they posed to his plans. El Chino, the Maoist leader and martial arts expert could never succeed in bending the fractious Marxist movements to his iron will as long as the foreign missionaries continued to weaken the fighting will of El Pueblo.

The recurring existential questions about the purpose of our lives are played out in the minds of simple peasants and brilliant scientists. With some surprising conclusions!
