I received this book on a goodreads giveaway. I set about reading it as soon as I could, so that I could review it. I am so glad that I received this book, one reason is because it sounded so good and I know that my husband will enjoy it too. The title tells the tale this book is a thriller.
It is about Danielle Laidlaw an operative for a CIA type organization called the NRI. Danielle is in Brazil with her partner and mentor Arnold Moore until he is called away by their employer. At which point she is left to run the assignment on her own. She is there to find a mysterious power source that could change how we use energy. Danielle builds her crew starting with a ex-CIA helicopter pilot named Hawker. Hawker proves to be an invaluable member of her crew. She also recruits a linguist, a professor, an assistant for him, porters, and some guards. I am sure I missed some characters that were minor so that is why.
After a crazy situation with a ships crew that Arnold Moore had set up, and Danielle was lucky enough to have Hawker with her to help her. Soon they were on the Amazon with a new group of characters added to the mix including Verhoven who also is an invaluable member to the crew. As they travel the Amazon and in the jungle the story unfolds and Danielle wasn't completely honest with her crew. There are hostile natives who want the "black plague" out of their jungle. They have all of the modern things like gps and computers. It all escalates to a fevered pitch.
All I can say is read it, read it, read it. I want to go on but I do not want to put spoilers in there I want you to read it. It is supposed to come out on January, 2010, get it and read it. I look very forward to the sequel, I will be reading it. ]]>
