Product Description

Product Description

James Pace, ex-RAF helicopter pilot and amateur cameraman, is still trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life when a child's bullet nearly kills him. Dragged unwittingly into the limelight, he is quickly recruited as a video diarist for a charity race, to be staged 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 primeval jungle alive and expose the truth.

Contract killing, kidnap, ruthless ambition....and a roller coaster ride he never signed up for!

From the Author

I have been an avid fan of Clive Cussler, Desmond Bagley, Jack Higgins and Hammond Innes for many years. Their stories have kept me company on many aeroplane flights, train journeys and on many beaches. I hope that Race Amazon will do the same for you.

The second book in the series; Skeleton Gold, is due for release in Summer 2010 - enjoy.

Race Amazon grips the reader right from the very first pages with the main character, James Pace, going through a traumatic and life threatening experience. He is then catapulted from a rather mediocre existence to stardom fuelled by media interest in his selfless, heroic act.

His near-death experience and subsequent superstar status gets him involved in a challenging but worthwhile cause for charity to race in the Amazon but ends up instead, racing for his life.

This book is full of non-stop action and heart pounding suspense, plot twisting turns that keep the reader riveted and believable characters that you get to know well and care about.

The author, Andy Lucas, is an exceptionally talented writer with a vivid imagination and a writing style that keeps the reader captivated. His descriptions of the Amazon made me feel as though I was actually there. It is obvious that a lot of care, effort and research has gone into this book as there is meticulous attention to detail together with an extensive knowledge of firearms and aircraft.

A seriously exciting read with a riveting storyline. Action, murder, assassinations, double-crosses, suspense and more. An exceptionally well written and cleverly plotted book which culminates in a roller coaster of a resolution. A real page-turner by an extremely talented and creative author.

I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read the next installment of James Pace's adventures, Skeleton Gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent read 6 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
A fantastic book - the characters were believable and the story roared along at a cracking pace. The plot twisted and turned nicely but I never lost the thread of where the story was taking me.

The description brought the settings to life and the the author creates a world that moves from sinister to serene, and back again, seamlessly. I genuinely couldn't put it down and would recommend it to everyone. I am very excited that it is also the first book in a series - I am looking forward to reading the next book as soon as it comes out!

A MUST read , but be warned once you pick it up you will not be able to put it down . There are so many twists and turns to the plot you just cannot predict the ending

Can't wait for the next book !

5.0 out of 5 stars Action all the way! 28 Feb 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A great read, so many twists and turns, action in every page, just as you think the author must run out of ideas and there are still loads more ages to go the action hots up even more! My only disappointment there are no others books by this author, but it does say James Pace novels, so hopefully i wont have to wait too long before the next one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing & exciting at times. 3 Jan 2013
By IntensiveCareNurse TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a pretty good thriller.
Not mega-deep & requires willing suspension of belief on the odd occasion, but many best-selling authors (in my opinion) have done a far, far worse job.
The fact that I was willingly able to take some of it "with a pinch of salt" but still forge ahead excitedly says a lot as concerns the quality... Just about all of the Ian Fleming (Bond) books require the same forgiveness but are nonetheless excellent, for example.
It was a fun diversion, quite original & I enjoyed it right to the end.
Unlike many low price/free Kindle downloads, it is a full novel in length (some seem to end within 100 pages or so).
A safe purchase & I wish the author the best of luck for his writing future.
