The Menehune - Paperback

After hurricane Iniki crushed the Hawaiian island chain in the late summer of 1992, a historical artifact of great military importance, dating back to World War II, had been exposed on a dry river bed, west of the remote and sparsely populated Kaupo district in Maui. The newly discovered rusting vessel of war prompted the federal government to assemble a band of explorers to investigate the anomaly. Nobody at the time, however, had ever expected that the team would find much more than what they had bargained for when they encountered the remnants of a hostile, Paleolithic tribe of cannibals who had been successfully hiding in the shadows for a thousand years!

Far removed from the encroachment of civilization, the stone-age tribe of hunters was certainly none-too-pleased to stumble upon a group of modern humans, who were clearly an immediate existential threat to their secluded village and their traditional way of life! Would there be casualties when these two vastly different subsets from a species known as Homo sapiens collided head-on in an atmosphere of hateful fear and suspicion?
