About this audiobook
Locals call it the Rio das Mortes—the treacherous Brazilian river where the Huna tribe is known to kill all who trespass. Despite the river’s deadly reputation, pilot Neil Mallory agrees to fly supplies to outposts there in hopes of making enough money to buy his passage back to England. But when he and fellow pilot Sam Hannah discover a field of massacred missionaries shot through with the Huna’s arrows, they decide to strike out along the River of Death to stage a daring rescue of the two nuns who are missing.
Their mission draws them deep into the treacherous jungle, where a final violent showdown with the Huna leads to a fateful decision that will change their lives forever.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A different setting to many of Higgins usual novels, although fans will still be glad to see the usual type of characters and plenty of killing....The book follows the adventures of Neil Mallory, a pilot for hire in the Brazilian Jungle he is saved from a crash site by Sam Hannah.Hannah was an ace in the First World War but now with no adventure in his life he is turned into an alcoholic, brawling, swindler who thinks only of himself.Hannah enlists Mallory as a pilot delivering mail and goods to outposts in the area.All around the Huma Indian tribe are massacring the white man. Only Mallory can see things from their point of view. When a holy order of the sisters of pity is slaughtered Mallory finds that 2 are unaccounted for. When the missing nun’s sister turns up (an up and coming MGM film star) they request help to try and rescue the nuns or recover the bodies.What happens next is a lot of violence, varied deaths and testosterone by the bucket load..... just the way it should be.
