Apes of the Wildfire

By Justin Morgan

War and wildfire are ravaging Borneo's rainforest. Can a pair of orangutan brothers overcome a bitter rivalry before the flames overcome them?

When a bullying brute seeks control of the forest, brothers Bili and Akan scour the trees for their exiled father, certain he can restore order to the canopy. But little do they know, their time with the mysterious Dama will see a bitter rift opened, and the course of their lives forever altered.

As the unstoppable inferno rages, and with Borneo's human residents locked in fierce ethnic conflict, the stage is set for an epic clash – and one which must surely end in tragedy.

Set during the devastating 1997 Asian forest fires, this tale of love and loss offers a unique and truly heartbreaking insight into the lives of some of our closest – and most vulnerable – relatives.
