The River - an action-packed thriller that will make you question life.

Stem cell research, cloning, and world domination--with a twist...

 

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

 

Del thought her father was long dead. But someone from her past says otherwise. Now she and a group of near strangers embark on a perilous mission.

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? 

At what point have we become...God?

The River explores biotechnology, nanotechnology, and the search for longevity and youth. How far have we gone...until we've gone too far?

The River is set in Canada and features Vancouver, the South Nahanni River and Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories, and Quebec City.

 

"Mix some Michael Crichton with a touch of Dean Koontz..." says Amanda Richards, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer

"Local author Cheryl Kaye Tardif specializes in mile-a-minute pot-boiler mysteries, usually set in Western Canadian locales. Her latest, The River, is a whodunit centred around mysterious happenings on the Nahanni River up north..." ~Edmonton Sun (June 15, 2006)
