RACE AMAZON: Maelstrom

by Andy Lucas

The final book in the RACE AMAZON duology, where the jungle can be a lethal, unforgiving place and death lurks behind every shadow. Having agreed to act as a video diarist for a charity race, deep within the Amazon, James Pace's life has been flipped upside down as the reality television race is hijacked by a ruthless enemy. Fighting for his life in dense jungle, dodging bullets and poisonous fangs, he must draw upon every military skill he possesses to save his own life and those of his team mates. Desperate to get himself and his team out of the sweltering rain forest alive, he must become as brutal as the killers who stalk them. Terrifyingly, as the true scale of the nightmare becomes clear, and an ecological disaster looms, purely surviving will not be enough. His own death will pale into insignificance when compared to the horrific cost in human lives if the enemy is allowed to prevail!

About the author

I have self-published 7 thrillers so far as well as a children's book and a short poetry anthology.

RACE AMAZON: False Dawn is the first in my James Pace thriller series. It was included in a collaboration box-set (HOTBOX) with 7 other indie authors in 2015, which became an international best seller.

I have always wanted to write, having been inspired by the great authors of the past like Tolkien, Lewis, Adams, Wells, Defoe and contemporary writers like Cussler, Higgins and Bagley.

I often write in small time windows but I do write more productively in lengthier spells, which is what I am increasingly doing. This helps me stay on track with multiple narrative threads and cuts down on a great deal of re-reading time prior to editing.

My new James Pace thriller will be released in autumn 2024, titled: ATLANTIS: Resurrection.
