ROOSEVELT'S BEAST

Start with a fantastic true story, in this case, an expedition to some remote corner of the planet. Then, when reality veers right, jog to the left and add a beast--a terror that brings another dimension to an already harrowing adventure. Combine all this with an experienced narrator, and you have the framework for this thrilling audiobook. Based on the true adventure of Teddy Roosevelt and his son Kermit and their descent of the unexplored River of Doubt in Brazil, the jog into horror fiction quickly pits the characters against an unknown beast that is terrorizing a remote Indian tribe. John Pruden's narration complements the multiple voices, dual gender depictions, multiple languages, creepy atmosphere, and animal sounds with ease, immersing the listener in this fantastic tale.
