| The Trade Mission - Andrew Pyper |
On the heels of his acclaimed bestselling debut Lost Girls,
Andrew Pyper brings his darkly musical language, chilling suspense, and
psychological complexity to a story of survival in the Amazon jungle. On the
delirious eve of the new millennium, Marcus Wallace and Jonathon Bates, two
twenty-four-year-old overnight dot-com millionaires, are on a trade mission in
Brazil. Their product is Hypothesys, a virtual "morality machine"
that promises to help people "make the best decisions of their
lives." But when the decision is made to take an ecotour up the Río Negro
deep into the Amazon jungle, the Hypothesys team members are forced to make
choices for themselves -- choices that carry fatal consequences. In the dead of
night, their boat is boarded by paramilitaries who kill the Brazilian crew and
kidnap Wallace and Bates, their two older colleagues, and their enigmatic
interpreter, Crossman. Blindfolded and thrown into a pit for a prison, they
must fight to find the will to survive. But when the increasingly unstable
Wallace engineers a violent escape, their own natures emerge as a threat
potentially more dangerous than the boundless jungle that surrounds them, or
the gunmen who relentlessly pursue them. A rare combination of literary skill,
contemporary insight, and outstanding storytelling, The Trade Mission is an
electrifying read that confirms Andrew Pyper's mastery of psychological
suspense.
