The Danger Trail Book

'800 Leagues on the Amazon' is an amazing story of adventure, honor, loyalty and exotic travel shrouded in great mystery. This is not the typical Jules Verne science fiction but it is a rollicking ride full of suspense and thrill on a log raft down almost the full length of the mighty Amazon River.

The book starts slowly and Verne narrates the surroundings and the flora and fauna of the Amazon in great detail. In the backdrop of one of the most exotic locations on the planet Verne narrates the story of the clash between an honorable man who is haunted by a death sentence for a crime which he didn't commit and an evil villain who want to destroy him. As is the case with his other books Verne places much importance on the honor of life and this can be found in the personalities of the characters in the story. On a journey from Peru to the Atlantic coast in Brazil the reader travels along with the central characters of the story experiencing the animal life, plants and vibrant surroundings of the Amazon river and its rainforest towards a fast paced climax.

This is a must read book for those who love a great tale of adventure with enough plot twists and suspense.
