Dr. Jon Anderson is a "man's-man" and every woman' dream. Handsome, smart, strong, brave, and a hero with a black belt in karate and a Golden Gloves Boxing Champion.
In this action, fast-paced novel and love story, Jon has accepted a position with Jari Pharmaceutical in the Amazonian rainforest region of Brazil as a field biologist. His mission is to interview local Indian shamans and research the plants they have used, for millennium, for medicinal purposes. A pharmaceutical discovery from plant life could save millions of lives. Instead, Jon finds conflict with local thugs who have little regard for the environment and who profit from "slash and burn."
He must defend his life, the life of his new love and stop the destruction of the rainforest which could hold the key to miraculous cures.
