What Monos is
Andes highlands. Fog. Distant gunfire. Child soldiers perform bizarre drills, their only rule the whims of a volatile commander. When an ambush scatters the unit, allegiances fray, innocence dies, and the mountain claims its due. Landes’s vision carries echoes of both *Lord of the Flies* and *Aguirre, the Wrath of God*.
