"I have long admired the visceral storytelling and moral complexity of John Vaillantâ€™s brilliant non-fiction about humankindâ€™s tragically ambivalent relationship with the natural world. Now he brings his abundant literary gifts to a debut novel set in a very real borderland in which human beings are themselves treated like animals. The Jaguarâ€™s Children is a beautifully rendered lament for an imperiled culture and the brave lives that would preserve it. You should read it."
