FEATHERS, The Novel — James F. Babcock

Take a trip to the islands of the Pacific with retired professor J. Humbert Flintlock, his pilot son, his Jewish neighbor lady, and her daughter. It's an entirely innocent project to update the professor's famous "Guide to the Birds of Oceania." But a murder and an airplane hijacking embroil them in the nefarious plot of an unscrupulous Indian businessman bent on fomenting a revolution on the island of Bali. The result: a funny comedy of errors! Plus along the way you'll learn a lot about birds, the only animals with feathers. Lavishly illustrated online with over two hundred color photos and maps
