The Men in the Jungle
Cynical ousted dictator Bart Fraden and his military chieftan
Willem Vanderling select a new planet to conquer by computer search and
come up with Sangre, ruled by devotees of the Marquis De Sade calling
themselves the Brotherhood of Pain, figuring it would be the ripest for
revolution.
It is all right, but when they deliberately make
things even worse to foment their rebellion, what begins is much more
than they bargained for.
Inspired by the Viet Nam War and Che Guevara's cynical attempt to replicate the Cuban Revolution in Bolivia.
