Kurz vor seinem Tod erzählt Ihnen der Forscher Emile Valembois von der erstaunlichsten Expedition seiner Karriere - einer Expedition mit dem Ziel, das Rätsel des "weißen Vogels" zu lösen.
Er bittet Sie, einen jungen Journalisten, nach Amerzone zurückzukehren und dort ein vor 50 Jahren gestohlenes Ei ausfindig zu machen. Und naiv wie Sie sind nehmen Sie den sonderbaren Auftrag an...
Der Legende zufolge kommen die merkwürdigen weißen Vögel im Flug zur Welt und sterben in der Luft. Niemals setzen sie Fuß auf festen Boden. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, diese Spezies wieder zum Leben zu erwecken.
Dazu erwartet Sie ein außergewöhnliches Abenteuer, bei dem sich Politik und Umweltschutz mit konzentrierter Action verbinden. Lassen Sie sich darauf ein. Ihr Weg führt Sie von der Bretagne im Norden Frankreichs in einen unglaublichen Tropenwald, bevölkert von Moskitos, Guerillos und ... weißen Vögeln.
