It was written (under the pseudonym J. D. Athens) by J. F. Lawton, who also authored Pretty Woman, the Under Siege series of movies and the television show V.I.P.

Famous quotes containing the words cannibal, women, jungle and/or death:

    “Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Life springs from death and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations.... They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools, they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.”
    —Patrick Henry Pearse (1879–1916)

    “The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out.... Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    “Nothing is a matter of life and death except life and death.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)
