WITCH IN THE WILDERNESS

Adventure story plus contrast of character when set against a jungle background. A readable yarn which tells of what happened to the owner of a yacht, his guests and his crew, when they found themselves stranded on a branch of the Amazon. The breakdown of standards and routine, together with the heat, the jungle itself and the general discontent set crew against owner and captain off on his own tack and steered various lives into new channels. Escape To The Tropics was a success last year, and placed Holdridge as an author that appealed to many readers interested in authentic Caribbean and South American material. This is his first novel.
