Did we see him?

Percy Fawcett

My short story Did we see him? is fiction based on facts.
The facts are in 1925, a group known as The Glove did finance an expedition into the Amazon jungle by Sir Percy Fawcett, and he did disappear along with two explorers. 

My story is based on one of the popular theories of the time. That he got attacked by natives in a new section of the jungle. One of the things to remember is at that time, few, if any, of the jungle inhabitants had seen white men, and those who had seen them had only had a bad reaction to them, much like the series on Netflix called Green Frontier. The difference being the series is set in Colombia, not Brazil.
After I finished this ebook, I began another called Did we see them? This book is total steampunk science fiction. If the second book had some connection with a disappearance, it would have been the disappearance of Dame Agatha Christie.
It is purported she vanished as a way of punishing her husband for being unfaithful.
