Blinding Light is a Young Adult (YA) adventure about four teens who are abducted from a luxury Amazon Jungle resort by guerrilla terrorists, who hold them for ransom at their rebel camp deep in the Jungle. The children must escape from their captors and hike for days back to civilization while evading jungle perils and the terrorist rebels who pursue them. As one literary editor put it, after reviewing Blinding Light, "Very nice ending. It feels like a pleasant cool-down after a strenuous workout. Great read!"Another literary editor said, "Teen readers will love the spectacular location of the Amazon jungle and all of its dangers."In the Amazon, only the bold survive. Life can be very short and death both quick and painful. Jungle perils come in many forms; piranha, black caiman, crocs, quagmires, army ants, disease carrying mosquitos, jungle fever, and five hundred pound anacondas. But these dangers pale in comparison to ruthless guerrilla terrorists, who show no mercy to their victims. Blinding Light provides readers with heart-pounding action as well as interesting insights into Peru's ancient and contemporary cultural history.
