Product Description

Two scientists determine that an epidemic in the Brazilian rainforest is in fact a poisoning. Descriptions of similar happenings in other rainforests and ecologically important sectors of the world lead the scientists to suspicion that a conspiracy to save the environment exists. They travel to Ghana, West Africa to a rainforest logging site and gather new samples. The results from this site are identical to the Brazilian results. An unusual and unknown mixture of poisons have been administered that result in an immmediate appearence of death. Later, the victims revive, but are without cognitive capability. This result leaves no doubt that there is a worldwide-in-scope conspiracy to protect the environment from destruction by greedy commercial interests. The story describes horrifying scenes of mass killings of gorilla, chimpanzees and other denizens of the rainforests that are being killed for profit along with the destruction of their rainforest habitats. As the story unfolds, the mystery of who and how unravels. This book will enlighten the reader as to a harsh reality that exits in the world that is receiving little press and will ultimately lead to the extinction of humanity itself.
