Doctor Lance Stockwell is a semi-retired professor of anatomy and anthropology at Washington State University and an expert on foot morphology and locomotion in primates. He has two obsessions in life. One is tracking and findng Chiye-Tanka: "Big Elder Brother," otherwise known as Sasquatch or Bigfoot. He must face the disbelievers and hoaxers, but also the crazy, competitive world of other Bigfoot hunters, including those who believe he exists but as an inter-dimensional being. His other lifelong pursuit is finding out what happened to his older brother, who disappeared in the jungles of Vietnam in 1967. In DISTANT SHORES Matt Bialer, poet of the weird and paranormal, examines real up-to-date facts about Sasquatch and the power of mythology, and the search for what is without and what is within.
