 'Now this is REAL adventure: no radios, compasses, ice, emergency supplies for months at a time through one of the most hazardous and fascinating regions on earth.' -SIR RICHARD BRANSON  'Sets sails and sights for lands as unfamiliar and spectacular as anything dreamed up for a Steven Spielberg movie. Thoroughly fascinating nearly every harrowing step of the way.' - WASHINGTON POST  'Incomparable adventure teeming with thrills, chills, mystery and the bizarre.' - LOS ANGELES TIMES The true story behind the award-winning PBS television series, Ring of Fire charts the Blair brothers’ 10-year sojourn through the world’s largest and least-known archipelago - the Islands of Indonesia. Amid impenetrable rain forests, erupting volcanoes and startling natural beauty, the brothers have captured on film and in words the story of one of the most captivating and intriguing explorations ever made. Their odyssey began in 1972 with a 2,500-mile voyage through the fabled Spice Islands, in search of the Greater Bird of Paradise. A decade of further exploration followed, during which the authors lived amongst the Asmat cannibals of West Papua and the healers of Bali, and encountered man-eating dragons in Komodo and the elusive ’dream wanderers’ of Borneo. With extraordinary courage, humour and passion for the unknown the Blairs draw us into a magical land where ancient myths still flourish. LAWRENCE BLAIR is also the author of Rhythms of Vision. He has appeared on television both sides of the Atlantic and has lectured on psycho-anthropology at the University of Southern California. The late Lorne Blair worked for the BBC until 1971, when he began his work as an independent filmmaker. His films, including the prize-winning Lempad of Bali, have appeared on international television. The film series Ring of Fire - An Indonesian Odyssey is available on iTunes and Vimeo.
