Title : The last round - Patrice Franceschi - book

Summary :

One day in 1937, in a remote village in the depths of the Amazon, three men at the end of their rope: Kerloff, the Russian adventurer who has failed at everything; Vernaud, the old doctor, haunted by a cowardice committed in the past; and finally, Maugin, who seeks to regain the trust of the man he betrayed.
They don't know each other, but fate leads all three of them aboard a poor boat, the Vaya con Dios, on an unknown river. They have accepted a banal mission in this jungle: transporting a load of gold.
But everything is an illusion, and this gold becomes the instrument of their true destiny. Caught in a fatal spiral, they are thrown into the heart of danger. Then their odyssey along the river transforms into a twilight adventure where everything is intertwined: the struggle for life, the fight against the most incredible enemies, the confrontation with dark forces.

A great adventure novel marked by a tragic force where inevitable death becomes for the three men the instrument of a luminous end which redeems their lost lives.

La Dernière Manche is his third novel, originally published by Ramsay in 1997 under the title Tout l'or du fleuve. He is currently captain of the three-masted exploration ship La Boudeuse.
