It is my pleasure to spotlight Javier Salazar Calle's novel, Ndura Son of the Forest here at Celticlady's Reviews!! Welcome Javier!
The adventure novel of the new author, Javier Salazar Calle, “Ndura. Son of the forest”, which is amongst the best sellers of adventure on Amazon Spain; reaching No.1 above sagas such as Divergent and The Hunger Games and voted best young adult fiction for 2014 in Spain, with a score of 4.7 / 5 on Amazon, it is finally available in English, translated by Pamela Daccache.
“Ndura. Son of the forest” is a novel in which the protagonist, returning from a relaxing holiday in Namibia, a typical photographic safari, is involved in an unexpected extreme survival situation when rebels in the Ituri Forest, Republic of Congo, shoot down his plane. A place where nature is not the only enemy and where survival is not the only problem. An adventure with a classic aroma, this book is the perfect escape from reality and you truly feel the anguish and despair of the protagonist at the challenge presented to him. This book naturally blends the excitement and tensions of the personal challenge of survival, the psychological degradation of protagonists throughout history and an in-depth study of the environment; its animals, plants and people. It also teaches us that our perception of where our limits are is usually wrong, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
