Tomek at the source of the Amazon

And here we are in Brazil during the rubber rush, where hunters for easy money make deals with their conscience, not disdaining even the lowest methods. However, Jan Smuga is not like that. As an employee of Nixon's company, Smuga equally successfully finds a common language with both the Indians and the residents of Manaus, where the main rubber warehouses are located. And even in a wild forest, an experienced traveler feels in his element. Under his leadership, everything is going swimmingly in the rubber tappers' camp. And yet, Smuga finds himself drawn into gang warfare: in an attempt to catch up with the killers who ravaged Nixon’s camp and brutally killed his nephew, the trapper disappears without a trace in the wild jungle. Natasha and Zbyszek Karski, who helped Smuga in Manaus, do not know what to think, because about six months have passed since the disappearance of their mentor. Having received alarming news from friends, Tomek Vilmovsky, his wife Sally and Captain Nowicki immediately go to Brazil. The young man is ready to walk the length and breadth of the Amazon coast just to find his missing comrade.
