Información de contracubierta:
En la selva del Amazonas, cada paso puede conducirlos a una trampa mortal...
Todos los peligros de la selva y todas las riquezas que esconde una de las últimas regiones vírgenes de la tierra aguardan a la expedición que se interna en el corazón del Mato Grosso en busca de una legendaria Ciudad Perdida y de un tesoro nazi. Le llevó treinta años a Spaatz, un antiguo SS que ahora se llama Smith, encontrar la pista del camarada que le traicionó cuando la guerra terminaba y huyó con el oro del Tercer Reich. Y Spaatz está decidido, cueste lo que cueste, a vengar esa traición. Pero los hombres que le acompañan en la expedición no son lo que parecen, y tienen sus propios y secretos motivos para estar allí. Y en medio de la selva amazónica, en una tierra donde sólo rige la ley del más fuerte o del más astuto, las batallas son sin cuartel...
 
MI COMENTARIO:
Más una novela de aventuras que de espías, es al final de la misma que uno se entera que varios de los personajes son agentes secretos de distintas organizaciones.
Ambientada en el Mato Groso brasileño, tiene los condimentos típicos de una novela de aventuras: escenario tropical, peligros provenientes de tribus de indígenas muy primitivos, una ciudad perdida que contiene tesoros antiquísimos, una travesía jalonada por imprevistos, etc. La mejor parte de la novela es la que justamente transcurre durante el viaje de los protagonistas a la ciudad perdida. Un antiguo militar nazi, con su identidad cambiada, busca a un camarada que lo traicionó durante los últimos días de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, al llevarse importantes cuotas de los tesoros saqueados por el Tercer Reich. Acompañado por personajes de distinto origen, llega a la ciudad perdida donde se encuentra con su destino.
El final es despachado por MacLean en pocas páginas, casi a las apuradas, presentando la resolución a multitud de interrogantes. Pareciera que el autor se hubiera cansado de su propia novela y la quisiera clausurar de un tirón. Me parece que el argumento, que había ido ganando en interés (MacLean describe con gran oficio el recorrido por la selva), termina implosionando en un final decepcionante.
 
ADAPTACIÓN CINEMATOGRÁFICA:
En 1989 se realizó una película basada en el libro: River of Death, dirigida por Steve Carver y protagonizada por Michael Dudikoff (John Hamilton), Robert Vaughn (Dr. Wolfgang Manteuffel), Donald Pleasence (Heinrich Spaatz), Herbert Lom (Cor. Ricardo Diaz), L.Q. Jones (Eddie Hiller), Sarah Maur Thorp (Anna Blakesley), Cynthia Erland (Maria) y Foziah Davidson (Dalia). En el ámbito hispanohablante, el film fue titulado El río de muerte, aunque también fue conocido como Río sangriento.
