toppled with a straw and a newt? Is salamander spit the newest
weapon of mass destruction? The answers lie Somewhere Upriver.

fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a great scientist. But
when Douglas hires an eccentric old herpetologist as a research
assistant, his plans for a successful future are derailed. He
enters a world of toxic salamanders, quirky characters and
government conspiracies, where the outlandish becomes amazingly
believable. "A memorable mind-altering venture of wildlife
biologists exploring Washington's rainforests, forging hilarious
new trails beyond the beaten track, revealing secrets hidden
beneath the skin of salamanders." -Diana Somerville author of
Inside Out Down Under: Stories from a Spiritual Sabbatical ..".
wonderful characters, action, humor, a little sex, and a vivid
picture of one of the last American rainforests. It's great
testimony that I really cared how the characters fared. And oh,
yeah; I almost forgot the toads. We learn a lot about toads, too
"-Terence Kuch author of The Seventh Effect and See/Saw ..". packed
with laughs and intrigue in which the hero meets his tests of
courage with renegade herpetologist Peter Vernon and a cast of
characters living on the fringe of society who help, hinder and
educate Douglas. It's a story of homemade beer, homemade tofu,
gourd banjos, living underground, alien encounters, salamanders,
rainforests, and field biologists who tramp through streams in
search of new species ... with a court trial and renegade FBI
agents to round out this delightful story." - Barbora Holan Cowles
