Novelist Roger D. Grubbs releases The Amazon Jewel.

Sept. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- The Amazon is one of the most intriguing locations on earth.  Beneath the canopy of lush growth are many mysteries.  Some of those unknowns hold the truth of our actual existence, waiting to be discovered.  

Among the inhabitants of the rainforest are many tribes, some that have never been contacted by the outside world.  The number of those hidden groups is thought to exceed one hundred.  While some of these are small settlements, others are fairly large.  But they practice some strange customs that are likely to remain a secret for centuries to come.  One drop of a peculiar substance in the eye can lead to phenomenal strength, speed, and insight into the future.  What is this magical potion?  Does it really work?  All these questions lead many to search for answers.  In the quest for those answers, lie untold dangers.

Journey with scientists down the Amazon River to search for answers of these unknown tribes that no one has ever been able to confirm existed.  They are there, just out of view.  

Suddenly and without warning a darkness descends upon the land like no other.  The clouds drop from the sky in one large swoop, black as coal, so dense you could cut it with a knife.  An eerie presence can be felt, moving all about.  Minutes later the mystery unfolds.  There are creatures hiding among the trees, and they are out to get you.  Creeping from tree to tree, exposed by the flashes of lightning, are the silent members of a frightening tribe called Zucomi.  Nobody knows for certain, but it is assumed to be them.

Before the storm can end, four members of the expedition completely disappear.  Left behind are two eleven-year-old youngsters, one boy and one girl.  They had been overlooked, but not for long.  Soon they are in for the fight of their lives.  

Seventeen years pass before the mystery unravels.  But will Michael (Dr. Paul Michael Stanley) and Jewel (Scarlet Jewel Blanton) be able to handle what lies beneath it?  Secrets are all around them, yet there is love in the air if only they can survive.  During a crisis it is discovered there is a doctor in the house.  It is not what you think, but it helps.  

With their world crumbling down around them, will the rescuers survive?  Faced with becoming separated, now it is up to Michael to find the lost Jewel.
