From the Publisher

The South Nahanni River has a history of mysterious deaths, disappearances and headless corpses, but it may also hold the key to humanity''s survival... or its destruction.

Seven years ago, Del Hawthorne''s father and three of his friends disappeared near the Nahanni River and were presumed dead. When one of the missing men stumbles onto the University grounds, alive but barely recognizable and aging before her eyes, Del is shocked. Especially when the man tells her something inconceivable. Her father is still alive!

Gathering a group of volunteers, Del travels to the Nahanni River to rescue her father. There, she finds a secret river that plunges her into a technologically advanced world of nanobots and painful serums. Del uncovers a conspiracy of unimaginable horror, a plot that threatens to destroy us all. Will humanity be sacrificed for the taste of eternal life?

Cheryl Kaye Tardif has once again captivated readers in her third novel and latest suspense thriller, The River. Set in the wilds of Canada''s north, The River combines intrigue, science, love and adventure and is sure to keep readers clamoring for more.
-Heather Andrews Miller, Edmonton Sun

Exciting and vivid. Tardif''s latest novel sweeps readers along into uncharted, wild Canadian territory. A thrilling adventure where science sniffs harder, desperate to find the fountain-of-youth.
-Christina Francine, Midwest Book Review

A wild river ride of tension, intrigue and romance as a motley crew of adventurers take you on a search for a man of the past who holds the key to the future, and the secret to eternal youth and power. Hang on--it''s going to be a bumpy ride! Excellent read!
