Not a bad little tale along the lines of lost world pulp.
A doctor, curious about a mysterious death, an acquaintance's strange behavior, and a strange, almost unearthly, patient, enters a hidden forest deep in Brazil where an otherworldly power known as "the Flame" has caused evolution to follow alternate paths. What appear to be humans there are actually highly evolved jaguars, living in the abandoned cities of a previous people who once tried to harness the Flame. Connections are revealed between the acquaintance and the cat people, and it all comes to a head as they realize the mysterious Flame is flaring, and its radiation could poison the world.
