The Last Place God Made
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.

About the author
Jack Higgins
480 books1,279 followersThere is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Jack Higgins was best known of the many pseudonyms of Henry Patterson. (See also Martin Fallon, Harry Patterson, Hugh Marlowe and James Graham.)
He was the New York Times bestselling author of more than seventy thrillers, including The Eagle Has Landed and The Wolf at the Door. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.
Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Patterson grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As a child, Patterson was a voracious reader and later credited his passion for reading with fueling his creative drive to be an author. His upbringing in Belfast also exposed him to the political and religious violence that characterized the city at the time. At seven years old, Patterson was caught in gunfire while riding a tram, and later was in a Belfast movie theater when it was bombed. Though he escaped from both attacks unharmed, the turmoil in Northern Ireland would later become a significant influence in his books, many of which prominently feature the Irish Republican Army. After attending grammar school and college in Leeds, England, Patterson joined the British Army and served two years in the Household Cavalry, from 1947 to 1949, stationed along the East German border. He was considered an expert sharpshooter.
Following his military service, Patterson earned a degree in sociology from the London School of Economics, which led to teaching jobs at two English colleges. In 1959, while teaching at James Graham College, Patterson began writing novels, including some under the alias James Graham. As his popularity grew, Patterson left teaching to write full time. With the 1975 publication of the international blockbuster The Eagle Has Landed, which was later made into a movie of the same name starring Michael Caine, Patterson became a regular fixture on bestseller lists. His books draw heavily from history and include prominent figures—such as John Dillinger—and often center around significant events from such conflicts as World War II, the Korean War, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Patterson lived in Jersey, in the Channel Islands.

The Last Place God Made is a refreshingly old-fashioned adventure tale which has more in common with the Spicy Adventure pulps of yesteryear than modern novels, and it is all the better for it. One of Jack Higgins’ early works (1971) this is just a tremendously enjoyable action adventure with terrific movement, atmosphere, and action. Higgins has always had a fascination with planes, no more so than here in this robust and entertaining adventure story set in 1930s Brazil, a lot of it in the Amazon. In fact, it reads like an old black and white, 1930s action/adventure movie.
Twenty-three year old flyer Neil Mallory crash lands with mail deep in the Amazon. Enter forty-five year old, larger-than-life Sam Hannah, a WWI flying ace known as The Black Baron, who as an old friend remarks, would have been better off dying in a blaze of glory during that war. Rescuing Neil and then offering him a job flying an old Bristol biplane delivering the mail when his passport and money are stolen by a beautiful girl, this vibrant man’s man adventure has just begun.
Higgins does a wonderful job of moving this story forward in great gulps, while giving us atmosphere enough for ten books. The Amazon is a living character here, filled with Indian tribes like the Civa, Cicero, and especially the Huna. The tale itself is rich and exciting in a Spicy Adventure Magazine way, with a beautiful girl, the massacre of missionaries deep in the jungle, exciting rescues and action, betrayal and drinking, and a nun who doesn’t seem to understand that her bull-headed stupidity is getting everyone around her killed. The sections in and out of the Amazon, and the scenes of flight and action are equally exciting.
Mallory tends to come off a bit too squeamish and hypocritical about violence, and the reader might see the betrayal coming early on as I did, but it makes things no less enjoyable. In fact, this is a wonderful read, full of life and adventure, and a romance that doesn’t end like you think it will. You’ll have a fabulously good time reading this one if you enjoy robust adventure and action, because this is top-notch pulp.
As with The Khufra Run, Higgins here is no fan of the Oxford comma, or ending a sentence to begin a new thought, making for some crazy sentences now and again. But this is such a fast, fun read you won’t care, because he’s a great storyteller, and this is a great story. This is why James M.Cain said all you can do when someone wants to write is give them a typewriter, because all the creative writing courses in the world are bunk. You can either write, or you can’t, and wow, can Higgins write. Great, old-fashioned stuff!

Fighting the Vega in the storm above the jungles of the Amazon, Neil Mallory wondered if this was it. He knew he wouldn't reach his destination, but it was with that thought that Captain Sam Hannah's voice came over the radio. He was beside Mallory and guided him down to a patch of sand below. When Hannah offered Mallory a job, he accepted - he really had no choice - but would there come a time to regret that acceptance?
The wilds of the jungle which housed many indigenous people, one tribe being the Huna Indians, were kept well away from. Until there was trouble. Then the immediate involvement of Mallory, Hannah and the local law enforcement was enacted. But Mallory was having second thoughts about his friendship with Hannah - something wasn't right. He couldn't put his finger on it; but he would...
The Last Place God Made by Jack Higgins - highly entertaining; fast-paced; intense and gripping. Everything I've come to expect from a Higgins novel, and then some! I loved it and although it was originally published in 1971, it still had the power to hold this reader enthralled. Read over a matter of a few hours (with some sleep in between start and finish) I highly recommend it.

Higgins again effortlessly spinning a yarn of misdeeds and guts. Not like any other Higgins novel I've read -- and there are many. What I was looking for in this novel, Higgins delivered: No spies, no British intelligence agencies, just good suspense, action and treachery. The question of "where the hell is this going?" struck me one-sixth of the way in, and I'm glad for it -- Higgins provides the answer with a gritty, brutal logic that only slightly resembles his other works.
March 11, 2017
The Last Place God Made was written in 1971 and Jack Higgins was clearly enjoying himself doing what he does best; creating a very enjoyable adventure tale. Its twice as long as it really needs to be but Higgins fluid writing style carries the reader along effortlessly. The story is character driven and what discernible plot there is only kicks in about a third of the way through when the femme fatale arrives. Set in the 1930's the misadventures of two daring pilots situated well up the Amazon ensure that this book is placed firmly within the pulp frame. It is a gem of a read.

Majority of rating is for originality. Good read, unusual subject matter, and gooddevelopment of characters.Also,a fine ending.

magnificient, my first one of Jack Higgins, and in one word - magnificient - i am hooked onto Jack Higgins for life
July 3, 2021
I was a Jack Higgings fan when I was in my teens. I even had a crush on old IRA member, new assassin, recurring character Sean Dillon! Reading Jack Higgins after all those years was so much fun.
This novel is different than his other spy suspences with its historical background. This is one of those flight adventures. We witness a part of lives of mail run pilots who fly over Brezilian forests, right before the outbreak of World War II. Ex RAF pilot British Neil Mallory meets ex Us Capt pilot Sam Hannah, who is older and senior. The then sweet (somehow enforced) employment relationship and friendship turns bitter when counter killings among Huna indians and Joanna Martin get in between.
The book has everything that a good advanture novel needs. Yet the surprise effect low.
What I didn't like is Neil Mallory himself. Him remaing like a walk-on in his own adventure, going anywhere without asking when asked, his passivity... Despite every unfortunate thing that happens to him, him being unable to be as angry as he should be against Hannah, or Joanna, or the good sister. Him going round and round around the racist, invasionist and political problem and being unable to actually pointing it out...
--------------------
Genç kızlığım Jack Higgings okuyarak geçti. Hatta eski IRA mensubu tetikçi karakteri Sean Dillon'a kendimce aşık olduğum bir dönemim de olmuştur. O yüzden yıllar sonra Jack Higgins okumak çok keyifli oldu.
Bu romanı tarihi arka plan olarak diğer romanlarından farklı. Uçuş maceraları serisinden. İkinci Dünya Savaşı'nın başlamasından hemen önce Brezilya'nın balta girmemiş ormanları üzerinde posta uçuşları yapan pilotların hayatından bir kesit okuyoruz. Eski İngiliz Kraliyet donanması pilotu Neil Mallory'nin yolu yine eski bir savaş pilotu olan, kendisinden yaşça büyük Sam Hannah ile kesişiyor. Tatlış başlayan iş ilişkisi ve arkadaşlık, araya yerli Huna kabilesiyle yaşanan karşılıklı öldürme eylemleri ve Joanna Martin isimli tam olarak kim olduğu belirsiz kadının da araya girmesiyle çirkinleşiyor.
Kitapta iyi bir maceranın gerektirdiği her şey var. Sadece sürpriz az. Olacaklar önceden tahmin ediliyor.
Sevmediğim tarafı ise Neil Mallory'nin kendisi. Maceranın içinde figüran gibi kalması, kim nereye çekerse oraya gitmesi, tepkisizliği. Başına gelen onca şeye rağmen, Hannah olsun, Joanna olsun, Rahibe olsun kimse karşı olması gerektiği kadar öfkeli olamaması. Huna kabilesi ile yaşanan ırkçı, istilacı ve politik sorunun yanından geçip bir türlü gerçekten parmak basamaması.
Bu kitabı Alanya'ya gittiğimde Öğretmenevi'nin kütüphanesinden almıştım.

Another solid adventure suspense tale from Higgins. He always delivers. I believe it's primarily the characters he creates. I always get interested in their lives.
February 27, 2008
Fun read that allows me to imagine myself as a rough and tumble hero who can hold his own against all but one woman.

Early vintage Higgins novel
One of authors early novels which hold your interest from the first page. His early novels are some of his best work.

July 20, 2022The twenty-eighth #jackhiggins #martinfallon #hughmarlowe #harrypatterson #henrypatterson #jamesgraham novel #thelastplacegodmade published in 1971. Set in 1938 in the Amazon. Neil Mallory is a young pilot working for hire transporting goods. He meets Sam Hannah a veteran of the First World War (who takes Mallory under his wing 😉🙄😁) They start working together Transporting mail etc. When natives of the Brazilian Jungle attack some nuns the two pilots help the small local military force take revenge and broker a meeting etc. The older and younger pilot come into conflict when a beautiful flirtatious woman comes into their lives and revelations of betrayal begin to surface. A change in setting for Higgins. The love story is interesting particularly for exploring all 3 characters in detail. Sam Hannah’s PTSD/alcoholism/frustration with the downward spiral of his life in his middle age is well done. The opening chapter is fascinating with enough excitement and detail to allow you to be fully engaged and understand without getting bogged down in technical detail. The book seems to have a five act structure and acts 4&5 went in a different direction than I was expecting. Plenty of dramatic action typical for Higgins. With a surprisingly poignant redemption at the end.

I’m a fan of Jack Higgins because his heroes are such flawed characters—anti-heroes, really. Yet he can’t really completely give them over to anti-heroic moments: they all, in the end, cast off (most of) their anti-heroic cynicism and sacrifice themselves for the good of another.
In this version, Higgins crafts two anti-heroes, friends for a moment, then rivals over the affections of a lady, then enemies as they fly the rivers of the Amazon jungle amid intrigue and attacks, both external and internal. Like all Higgins tales, this moves along nicely with ever-increasing stakes and masterfully unfolding plot lines to keep the reader in the story an in the setting.
Yet, having read enough Higgins, I saw the end coming from a good long distance: his anti-heroes must choose the heroic course and (spoiler alert), they do. But also, very typical of Higgins (spoiler alert #2), neither gets the lady.
Despite the distraction of more sexual content than is typical of Higgins, a fun and entertaining read.

Oct 2018 From many of the reviews it appears one likes Jack Higgins or one is bored with Jack Higgins. If one is in the latter camp, why not just stop reading the books? I came late to the party and am actually glad to have discovered an author who writes in time periods of my youth and young adulthood In this story Higgins' protagonist argues with a nun about missionaries attempting to change the way of life and death of indigenous populations. It is a coincidence that yesterday was the First Indigenous Peoples Day (instead of Columbus Day). There is a wonderful quote on page 107 " They don't need us Sister, any of us. The best service we could offer them would be to go away and leave them alone, and they certainly don't need your religion."

April 27, 2025The Last Place God Made is quite an entertaining novel by Jack Higgins although quite violent at times. It also has a fair amount of sex.
The story follows Neil Mallory, a pilot who is making his living transporting goods over the dense Brazilian jungle. When his plane comes to grief he is rescued by Sam Hannah, a WW1 flying ace who offers Mallory a job delivering mail to one of the worst places in the world.
Throw in a beautiful woman, some rather nasty natives and a bunch of missionaries who are in big trouble and you have a fast moving story that anyone who enjoys action novels will enjoy.

I got everything I expected from this Jack Higgins book.
It started off slow and was a little tough to get into. But once it got going I did actually enjoy it.
Granted it wasn’t the most difficult book to see through and what was going on was fairly easy to spot.
I thought the characters were mostly great. But it suffers a little bit from “red shirt” syndrome. People are there to be expendable. Nothing at all wrong with it.
Good book.
Good author.
Give it a go.

Very Different
This was a very unusual read. I loved the old biplanes and the look at the Amazon Basin in the early years of European invasion (for lack of a better word). Antagonists abound here. It's not just the Huna, the local natives. Many of the European settlers/explorers who claim partnership as friends are just as dangerous.
Those who enjoy historical fiction, tales from the basin area, or stories about the first days of flight will find much to love in this unique story.

Pilot Neil Mallory works as a courier delivering mail and machine parts in Brazil, around the Amazon forest.
His plane falls apart and somehow lands safely. He is found by another pilot Sam Hannah. Hannah recruits Mallory taking him to the deepest and darkest places in the jungle.
The friendship sours once Mallory realizes he has been set up and lied to.
The fight for survival amongst the Indigenous peoples who do not like outsiders. Only one will survive.

Creative Writing of the Highest Order
For anyone who enjoys a novel which keeps one transfixed to the characters and story line, this is for you; the depth of the dramatic is there from beginning to end, even when one guesses what’s coming next, something occurs to keep you reading because of the unexpected.

Another good book from Jack Higgins.
There were a few times I had a hard time reading about the horrible weather, the horrible area but kept going because Jack Higgins always writes a good story. This was no exception, it was a great story. I have read so many of his books and enjoyed them all.

The Last Place God Made by Jack Higgins... Way off from his WW chronicle, the plot is on the Amazon and its civilization, the characters like Neil linger a long time in the mind after the read. Good read...
February 14, 2020
Definitely 1 of his worst books
I have read almost all of The authors books and This is the only 1 that I almost gave up on, on every page. I only kept going to the end because Of his other books Being well worth reading.

Good story. Not his best.
Interesting historical setting. Just about believable characters, not so realistic plot. Nowhere near as engrossing as the Sean Dillon series which are brilliant.

It was ok, not one of my favorites
I have read most of Higgins books and I did not think it was one of his best.
I will move on to the next one and hope it will be better. I still like Jack Higgins books

This could have said more about the Huna and corruption in the setting, but it seemed as though Higgins didn’t want to stick around for too long in one place. I’m happy with the story and I’m glad it ended with at least one death, it just left much to be desired in terms of the themes.

This was so predictable that I couldn't be bothered finishing the last fifth and i skipped to the end.

This was an exceptional book. Fun, exciting, fast and full of surprises. One or two old-time motives, but a fresh look.
