Hard Amazon Rain

Résumé du livre

Burned-out art therapist Dianti Robertson dreams of building a library for an Amerindian village on the upper Amazon in Peru. She's searching for a feeling of completion, and the library is a project completely different from her ongoing work with troubled children in America.Roaming the the Amazon River, English eco-activist Christian St. Cloud sails his trimaran, the Rio Vida, wherever he perceives a threat to the Amerindian way of life, opposing those whose greed would strip the people of all their natural resources. Christian is haunted by having been unable to save nine indigenous villages from being destroyed by a dam project in Venezuela.Dianti and Christian strongly disagree on how best to aid indigenous people. Complicating their outspoken differences is the intensity of their unspoken physical attraction. Dutch soldier-of-fortune Kees Wijntuin and a ruthless gold consortium threaten the area where Dianti lives. When two young Amerindians are kidnapped by the Dutchman and sold into slavery at the mining camp of Santo Ignacio, can Dianti and Christian successfully join forces to rescue them?
