The Waters of Eden

The Waters of Eden was my second novel after The Society of the Morning Star. Reviewers have described it as a “compelling, imaginative novel grounded in deep research, this time set in the Amazon.

It is the year 1907, shortly before the end of the Brazilian rubber boom. Funded by a shadowy US investor, a young biologist and his wife move to the Amazon Basin to develop a more productive strain of Hevea Brasiliensis – the indigenous rubber tree. The biologist’s life takes an unexpected turn when a local native chief shows him an amazing flower that can revive the recently deceased and maybe even bestow eternal life on those daring enough to try it. “Ponce de León was wrong!” he exclaims. “The Fountain of Youth wasn’t in Florida, it’s right here in the Amazon!” But his plans go awry when his investor insists on using his new discovery for his outrageous business schemes. It is then that he and his wife discover an even more astounding secret of the rainforest.

Another breaker foams around you with a hissing sound, the silken bubbles caressing your naked skin. Pushing yourself up onto your elbows, you gaze at the series of waves rolling toward you, expecting to see the wreckage of a ship bobbing up and down in the surf--a beached hull, a broken mast, splintered lifeboats. But there’s no wreckage of any kind out there. There’s only the churning surf and glittering stars ...
