Ray Palmer, a.k.a. the Atom, goes to South America in search of a piece of pure white dwarf star material. After running afoul of drug dealers and being left for dead and stuck in his mini-size, he’s rescued by a colony of miniature human-like aliens who live in the Amazon jungle. The story transitions into pure fantasy, where the Atom takes sides in a king-vs-rebel conflict in a semi-barbarian culture where the diminutive people ride frogs and fight giant snakes. The good guys win in the end, though the ending is not exactly a happy one.
