They Wait In Silence

“A fast-paced action-packed page-turner of a novel. If this is the first in a series, I can’t wait for the next!” – Graham Wilton, Four Shires Magazine.

1985. The President of Peru wants to open up the Amazon to mass population. At his invitation, an international group of financiers, planners and construction experts take a cruise down the river to assess the possibilities. But the rule of law applies in name only here. The real kings of the jungle are the drug gangs and they will go to any lengths to make sure it stays that way - including sinking a cruise ship, miles from the nearest town.

For the two survivors – a construction magnate from Texas and an English doctor - reaching the shore is only the start of their problems. Fighting grief and survivor’s guilt as well as each other, they still have over forty miles of dense rain forest as well as the drug traffickers themselves to get through. And the last thing the locals want is for anyone from that ship to make it out alive.
