The journey up Blood River was easy.
Coming home is a killer.

In the heart of Borneo, a group of dedicated volunteers embarks on a journey to save the endangered orangutans, but what began as a noble mission soon spirals into a nightmare.

The dark mystery of twelve missing volunteers is revealed by a collection of battered diaries.

Team leaders Tara and Rendy must protect their remote camp against ruthless outlaws, freak weather and failing supplies. They soon suspect that the greatest danger is among them: a lost soul with a savage bloodlust.

Alexander Lane’s masterful storytelling blends tension, mystery, and fear, drawing readers into an immersive nightmare where every rustle of leaves could mean danger.

Will you survive the horrors of Blood River?

Wow what a brilliant read. I just loved every second of this book it was a real roller coaster ride.

Please support the Orangutan Foundation

Blood River was inspired by my trip to Borneo as an eco-volunteer for the Orangutan Foundation. Borneo’s rainforests are a wonderfully diverse ecosystem, threatened from the outside by ever-expanding palm oil plantations, and internally by illegal logging and mining, as well as forest fires.

Like my fictional Orangutan Survival Trust, the Orangutan Foundation preserves thousands of acres of tropical rainforest, home to critically endangered orangutans, clouded leopards and many, many other species.

If you enjoy my novel (or even if you don’t), please donate to the Orangutan Foundation or another orangutan conservation charity.
