"Claude and Perken meet on a liner heading for Indo-China, and throw their lots in together to form a joint expedition into the perilous Cambodian jungles of 'The Way of the Kings'. Claude, a young Frenchman, is seeking adventure, fame and money; Perken, an experienced Dutch explorer, is returning to his own little patch of Siam, aiming to recapture his former masculine pride, obsessed with the coming of age and its effects.
