Spirit of the Jaguar: Abducted by an Uncontacted Amazon Tribe

A pulse-pounding story of jungle survival inspired by the author's Amazon adventures and reported encounters with uncontacted tribes deep in the Brazilian rainforest. When Silicon Valley executive Michael Weston vanishes on a luxury vacation, his world of technology, strategy and control disappears overnight. He awakens in a jungle world where outsiders do not survive. Captured by an uncontacted tribe hidden beneath the vast rainforest canopy, Weston must navigate a world ruled by jungle spirits, jaguar priests and warriors speaking a language of bird calls and animal snarls—a painted elder with boar tusks protruding through his nostrils, a feared warrior who tracks men like prey, and a mysterious young woman of the mist who may be the key to his survival…or his death. Weston’s only hope is to resurrect the hunting skills of his youth—but without guns or modern tools. Spears replace bullets and silence replaces cell phones. In the darkness, the jungle stalks back. Hunted by jaguars, anacondas and rival tribes, Weston forms a fragile alliance with an Indigenous man trapped between two worlds and discovers a secret that could save him… or condemn the entire tribe to extinction. Perfect for fans of The Unconquered, The River of Doubt and The Lost City of Z—but told as a gripping, character-driven adventure thriller. View Less
