Pantaleón Pantoja, un capitán del ejército recientemente ascendido, recibe la misión de establecer un servicio de prostitución para las Fuerzas Armadas del Perú en el más absoluto secreto militar. Estricto cumplidor del deber que le ha sido asignado, Pantaleón se traslada a Iquitos, en plena selva, para llevar a cabo su cometido, pero se entrega a esta misión con tal obcecación que termina por poner en peligro el engranaje que él mismo ha puesto en movimiento. Así arranca esta novela, publicada en 1973 y llevada posteriormente al cine.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Pantaleón Pantoja, a recently promoted army captain, is entrusted with a top-secret mission to establish a prostitution service for the Armed Forces of Peru.
