The Amazonians and Basketball Trilogy is a novelized version of the author's script for an adventure-comedy cartoon series.Book One follows Andrew, a struggling idealistic basketball coach with unshakable faith but no sense of acquisitiveness, who stumbles into a modern-day primitive tribe believed to be Inca Empire survivors, where he inexplicably becomes a superhero and unexpectedly uncovers a secret that later amazes the entire world. But he couldn't accomplish such feats without Papaya, an offbeat and lovable boy, who is totally ignorant but incredibly clever and overly optimistic yet leads a miserable life. The two of them encounter many colorful characters and peculiar circumstances and confront various life-and-death situations each day in a journey woven with bizarre, terrifying, poignant, yet also heartwarming and inspiring tales. Book One serves as the "introduction" to the whole series, bringing the story from the forest to the civilized world. Book Two continues the story in the civilized world, but the protagonist is no longer Andrew, but Papaya-the "free-range chicken" in the dangerous primitive tribe, who now becomes a hero in this more dangerous and treacherous "civilized" world. Book Two is as intense and fast-paced as Book One, but it features hi-tech and sci-fi elements, and the scenes constantly switch between the civilized world and the forest. A brutal war driven by business interests breaks out in the "weapon-modernized" tribe and extends from the ground to the sky and even to the geosynchronous orbit. Book Three brings the story back to the forest. Everything happens in a small, closed space, where every character in Book One and Book Two, if still alive, gathers, and good-evil and beauty-ugliness are dramatically reversed. Book Three digs deep into human nature in a slow-paced but drastically conflicted story.
