Two killers force a family into mortal peril in this “gripping thriller” based on the blockbuster movie starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon (Publishers Weekly)****.

To help heal a rocky marriage, river-rafting expert Gail, her husband, Tom, and their son embark on a white-water adventure in Montana. Along the way, they encounter two inexperienced rafters looking for their friends downriver. Little do they know that the men are escaped convicts whose bid for freedom has a body count.

Desperate to evade both the police and federal marshals, the men force the family down the river and into the mouth of a deadly class 5 white-water rapid. Careening towards certain death, Gail and Tom must save their family from the brutality of the river and the savageness of man.

Denis O’Neill, the screenwriter for the movie The River Wild, distills the striking beauty of the film and ratchets up the danger in this novelization that is both a classic adventure story and a testament to the relentless power of mother nature.

“O’Neill pits man against man and man against nature in this gripping thriller.” —Publishers Weekly

“Denis O’Neill knows the high-risk thrills and danger that come with class five river rafting.” —Meryl Streep

“A Class-5 ride from Denis O’Neill.” ―David Strathairn

“Thrills, Chills, Spills! Those time-honored adjectives applied and then some to the movie The River Wild, but it turns out that was only the half of it. That ‘all of it’ is in Denis O’Neil’s novelization of his superb screenplay!” —Larry Turman, Hollywood producer
