The Last Place God Made Kindle Edition

by Jack Higgins (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 1,272 ratings
An action-packed adventure set in the unforgiving and uncharted Amazon from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Midnight Bell.
 
Neil Mallory thought life was interesting as a bush pilot, flying mail and supplies around the Amazon rain forest. Then, after a bad crash, his life was saved by Capt. Sam Hannah, who all but hijacked him as a junior partner in what could barely be called a business. Only then did life get really interesting.
 
Flying to and from the darkest corners of the savage jungle, the motley pair thinks they’ve seen everything . . . until they discover a field covered with the bodies of dead missionaries riddled with the arrows of the dreaded Huna tribe. The Huna, who have no love for encroaching “civilization,” are not to be trifled with. But as luck would have it, Mallory and Hannah soon find themselves drawn into the search for two missing nuns the natives have taken.
 
The ensuing hunt will pit them against the Huna, the dangers of the Amazon, and even each other in a bloody fight for survival more brutal and unrelenting than either could have imagined—even in their nightmares.
 
Before The Eagle Has Landed catapulted him to international fame, Jack Higgins was already writing incredible tales of suspense and action set around the globe—including this thrilling, old-school adventure that will grab readers from the first page and not let them go without a fight.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thriller in the Rain Forest
    Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2016

    The time is several years after World War 1 when former war flying ace Sam Hannah, while flying mail along the Negro River in Brazil comes across an old biplane literally coming apart in the air along his route. He directs Neil Mallory to a grassy clearing where the plane eventually is destroyed as it touches down. Hannah lands himself, hurriedly gets him in the plane and takes back off before their activity attracts the attention of hostile natives. From this point Mallory goes to work for Hannah to earn money to return to home in England. The story progresses to the native attack and massacre of nuns and the priest at the nearby settlement and two nuns arrive to return to the church and Neil and Sam find themselves on a rescue mission to save these nuns. The further into the book you go, the harder it is to put down. An excellent Jack Higgins thriller.

    Not one of his best but nevertheless a reasonable read. Somewhat predictable but not the sort of book that one could go back and re-read at a later date.
