Path of the Jaguar. A Wild Thing Wildscapes Adventure - Pete Karjanis

Gus Karagianis thought he'd left combat behind when he traded his US Army Ranger uniform for degrees in wildlife biology and landscape design. Now a Wildscape designer, he's designing a new innovative jaguar habitat at an Arizona Zoo and also codesigning a wildlife corridor that connects fragmented jaguar habitats across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. But when his efforts expose signs of poaching, Gus finds himself back in familiar -- and dangerous -- territory.

Isabella "Bella" Guerrero, a brilliant Mexican ecologist with deep ties to the land, has seen what happens to people who say too much or refuse to look away. While fully committed to her professional partnership with Gus and the animals she's chosen to safeguard, she has little interest in taking unnecessary risks.

As the criminal network tightens its grip, Gus and Bella discover plans that go far beyond animal trafficking. Now the pair must survive the cartels who would gain from the jaguars' destruction -- and the scientists who would turn these creatures into bioweapons.

Path of the Jaguar launches a high-stakes eco-thriller series about loyalty, grit, and the thin line between stewardship and warfare.
