Když jednoho dne osloví chlapák Lewis své tři kamarády, aby s ním na kánoích sjeli divokou řeku, zpohodlnělým měšťákům se do mokrého dobrodružství příliš nechce. Nakonec však všichni souhlasí a vyrážejí do divočiny. Začátek předčí všechna jejich očekávání - krajina je nádherná, řeka nespoutaná, i počasí se vyvedlo. Jakmile však na výpravu zaútočí dva místní primitivové, kouzlo je rázem zlomeno, příroda začne hrát podle vlastních pravidel a výlet se mění v adrenalinovou noční můru. Na první pohled prvoplánový a triviální příběh má hlubší dno, stejně jako řeka, která jej unáší. Pod hladinou se rýsují symboly, motivy i dobové reminiscence: ironicky převrácený obraz panenské přírody a zkaženosti velkoměsta, křesťanské výklady a zoufalství odrážející probíhající válku ve Vietnamu. To vše Dickey předkládá neodolatelným básnickým jazykem, který dýchá krásou, krutostí i krví. Román byl v roce 1972 zdařile zfilmován Johnem Boormanem.
