About the book

In this steamy, high-stakes land grab for the Amazon, war has broken out between the tribes and the miners. The Amazon, the Earth's only equatorial cooling pump, has become sick. She is coughing ooze, fluids, waste, sewage, run-offs, and continuously rapacious behaviors from assorted greedmongers. While Jaguar Jungle unwinds, nothing can stop the pillage of the river's highways as Big Energy devours rubber, timber, gold, and rare Earth minerals. Wait, not all is lost! As in a medieval classic, a white knight appears; but now there's more than one! Sudden as a basin storm, Hawk's Horsemen arrive to chase the ravenous conglomerates from the ancestral tribal lands. Bad goes to worse as the climate events, failed businesses, lost fortunes, and decimated tribes come to a head. Enter Brazil's National Congress! Tragically, Geneva Drummond is blinded in a black swan moment. Daniel Boone Clearwater is sent to Brazil to round up two American fugitives wanted for murder. Overlappers, Orla, Jagger, and Rothschild, call a Grand Council to save the Amazon. The story simmers to a boil and climate temps spike. Finally, Amazonia native tribes erupt over environmental artocities, blowing up power stations, while sabotaging dams and mines. President Dilma has a conundrum. Will she stay with the wildly unpopular energy policies, or backflip and side with the tribes? Suddenly, everything is on the line. Chief Raconi exposes the Amazon's shocking past to reveal its spellbinding future, altering the Amazon Basin, forever!
