Ruthless River

Holly FitzGerald and her husband, Fitz—married less than two years—set out on a yearlong honeymoon adventure of a lifetime, backpacking around the world. Five months into the trip, their plane crash-lands in Peru at a penal colony walled in by jungle, and their blissfully romantic journey turns into a terrifying nonstop labyrinth of escape and survival.

On a small, soon-ravaged raft that quickly becomes their entire universe through dangerous waters alive with deadly animals and fish, their only choice: to continue on despite the rush of insects swarming them by day, the sounds of encroaching predators at night. Without food or means of communication, with no one to hear their cries for help or on a search-and-rescue expedition to find them, the author and her husband make their way, fighting to conquer starvation and navigate the brute force of the river, their only hope for survival, in spite of hunger and weakening resolve, to somehow, miraculously, hang on and find their way east to a large riverside town—before it is too late.

Holly FitzGerald si sotul ei, Fitz - casatoriti mai putin de doi ani - au pornit intr-o aventura de o luna de miere de o viata, facand excursii in intreaga lume. La cinci luni de calatorie, avionul lor aterizeaza in Peru intr-o colonie penala inconjurata de jungla, iar calatoria lor fericita si romantica se transforma intr-un labirint terifiant non-stop de evadare si supravietuire. intregul univers prin ape periculoase, in viata cu animale si pesti mortali, singura lor alegere: sa continue mai departe, in ciuda goanelor de insecte care le roaga in timpul zilei, sunetele invadarii pradatorilor noaptea.
