The Amazon Conspiracy

By: S. J. Philips

Narrated by: Larry Gorman

“An often diverting story that takes readers on a survival adventure” (Kirkus Reviews)

A grave mistake has caused Henry Foster to lose his career as a promising scientist dedicated to studying the Amazon rain forest. Yet he’s landed an assistant job at a remote research station that lets him continue there in relative peace. That is, until he’s assigned to lead a documentary film crew to an abandoned mine, presumably long lost to the jungle.

Upon their arrival, Henry makes an unfortunate discovery. Although the crew is detained by armed soldiers, Henry narrowly escapes with Clare Andersen, an adventurous Australian TV host. But when they make it out of the jungle and into the nearest city, they learn they’re wanted for murder.

Running from both the police and vicious thugs, Henry and Clare set out in a race against time to prove their innocence and save the missing filmmakers, uncovering clues to a dangerous international conspiracy set in the heart of the Amazon rain forest.

Wonderful Find!

I was totally blown away by this book! Took a chance on an author I’m unfamiliar with and it paid off. The hero of this story is Henry. He had been on track to receiving a PhD when he “dropped out “ of his courses to become basically a technician working in the Amazon. No one knows why and he’s not telling. He’s tasked with taking a group out to film a documentary but things go wrong when they stumble across illegal mining. There are armed men in foreign uniforms and the man in charge of the filming the documentary is shot. Henry and the star of the film (Clare) escape into the jungle. With police corruption in Brazil they find themselves hunted by them also.
This book is fast paced and extremely entertaining with both wit and brawn.
Larry Gorman does an outstanding job narrating.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
