Roosevelt's Beast is a reimagining of Teddy and Kermit
Roosevelt’s ill-fated 1914 Amazon expedition: a new novel
from the acclaimed Louis Bayard 1914. Brazil’s Rio da Dúvida, the River of Doubt. Plagued by
hunger and suffering the lingering effects of malaria,
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, his son Kermit, and the other
members of the now-ravaged Roosevelt-Rondon scientific
expedition are traveling deeper and deeper into the jungle.
When Kermit and the Colonel are kidnapped by a mysterious
Amazonian tribe, they soon discover the price of their
freedom. They must find and kill a ravenous beast – a beast
that has never been seen and that leaves no tracks. With his characteristically rich storytelling and a touch of
old-fashioned horror, the bestselling and critically
acclaimed Louis Bayard turns the well-known story of the
Roosevelt-Rondon expedition on its head and anatomizes the
demons that can haunt us from birth to death.
