Average rating4
Although published in 2022, this adventure story has the feel of stories published one hundred or more years ago. It reminded me somewhat of H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain books.
The main part of the story takes place in post WW1 England and South America. We get an English adventurer with his indomitable sidekick. They put together a small group, including a tough but still very feminine lady, to pursue a mystery deep into an unknown area of the Amazon jungle. In their search for treasure and knowledge, they face great dangers. And their dangers are not all natural, for evil men plot to make the group's discoveries their own.
Nice mix of adventure, action, and romance. 3.5 stars rounded up.
