Rich with intrigue, court battles and murder the novel Amazon is about
the perils facing the future of the Amazonian river basin. It explains
the effects of logging, mining and conservation efforts on the local
indigenous populations that have lived there forever. The main
characters are Maggie and her adopted daughter Olon who attempt to save
the forests and their inhabitants from these modern forces that lack
long range sightedness of the irreversible damage they are doing.
