Expedition Green Gold
When a rare plant living within the deepest reaches of the Amazon rain forest is discovered to contain a miracle disease cure, a high powered pharmacologist teams up with a renegade botanist in the search for GREEN GOLD... But they soon learn that they are not the only ones who seek the life-giving plant. Excerpt: "Scary, isn't it?" Task whispered. "Think about the situation here: A group of invaluable rare plants that are indigenous to Peru now live within the borders of one of the dirt-poorest nations on earth--Madagascar--in a natural environment. But the technology and research that make the plants so valuable come from the United States."
