A real adventure yarn. Maori rights and conservation are the only changes in a very old form which I can remember reading piles of years ago. A big company is going to develop land once settled by Maoris. After a little confusion of character (the writer has a few too many bobbing about at the beginning) we settle down to the plot of what's the scientist doing so secretively in the next valley and will the old Maori prophency come true and the developers fail to gain the land? To answer those questions you have to read up to the final page. I wish I'd discovered the glossary of Maori words before I read the story.
