Twelve years later, Ruzonow a geoscientisthears his aunt mention that she herself had visited this strange river.Determined to discover if the boiling river is real, Ruzo sets out on a journey deep into the Amazon. What he finds astounds him: In this long, wide, and winding river, the waters run so hot that locals brew tea in them; small animals that fall in are instantly cooked. As he studies the river, Ruzo faces challenges more complex than he had ever imaged.The Boiling River follows this young explorer as he navigates a tangle of competing interestslocal shamans, illegal cattle farmers and loggers, and oil companies.
