Sobre IBD

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.
