Race Amazon by Andy Lucas

 A brilliant book, well written, the plot twisting and turning, it had everything.

James Pace, ex-RAF helicopter pilot and amateur cameraman, is still wondering what to do with his life when a child's bullet nearly kills him. Dragged unwillingly into the limelight, he is quickly recruited as a video diarist for a charity race, set deep within the remote Amazon basin. Drawn into a deadly political game, he soon finds himself cut off from help and fighting to survive against terrifying odds. Forced to take the battle to his enemy, he must risk everything to find a way out of the jungle alive and discover a terrifying truth. Contract killing, kidnap, ruthless ambition, and a roller coaster adventure that he never signed up for!
