Would have made a good movie

British pilot Neil Mallory would have crashed into the South American jungles on his Vega plane and ended his life had it not been for a coincidental appearance of Sam Hannah in another plane who guided him to a landing spot in the wilderness.Brought to remote town of Manaus, Neil had his money and passport stolen. He avoided being pressed into work-gangs only when taking employment under Sam as a pilot. Neil wanted to go home, and this seemed to be the only way.But nothing was certain in the jungle.Sam Hannah was one person who could be a hero one moment and the devil the next.Slowly, Neil found himself getting more and more involved in the local problems. Huna natives had massacred a missionary outpost. Neil found himself tangled in the official response, and in two women, one a missionary determined to revive the mission, the other in search of her missing sister who was a nun at the mission.Set in the lush jungles where humans had to live like animals to survive, Jack Higgins painted a very lively action with colourful characters. Each have a different raison d'etre, and for some, surviving was not one.

Another Pleaser

Mr. Higgins can write in less pages and enter greater action and background than most writers can in double the pages. This book not only gives the real feel of the South American jungle, but it attributes to the competivness of man with a women tied in. There is no doubt in my mind of his ability and I will someday have read all of his books. This is now my twenty third.

One of the very best!!

Set in the South American jungle, in an age that seems so long ago, Jack Higgins describes the adventures of two men and a lady. Fighting for survival, in romantic but very deadly surroundings, these very colorful and very real characters star in one of Higgins' older, but nonetheless better novels,
