About the Author

Antares is a writer, musician, and visionary who moved out of the city in 1992 and found himself living among the Temuan (second largest of the peninsular Orang Asli tribes) in the Malaysian rainforest, a few miles from Gunung Rajah – a mysterious, mist-enshrouded mountain revered as the birthplace of a postdiluvian humanity.

This book was originally part of a multimedia project initiated by Magick River as a tribute to the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia and first published in print by Silverfishbooks in 2007.
