English > Spanish: Novel (thriller), 83,000 words

This is a full-length novel of 83000 words. It is a thriller which takes place in the Amazon and Argentina. I need someone who has experience in dramatic translation, not just textbook translation.

Example of text:
The fishing trawler dropped its commandos eight kilometers from the targetpoint and the three Zodiac rafts proceeded landward. Lieutenant Roland Sabatini had trained eight years for this mission, but the denials of sleep and food, the gnashing elements, were small rigors now that the day had come.
When the rafts came to within a thousand meters of the shoreline, the engines were cut. Sabatini and Comandante Enrique Cisneros would now swim to shore alone, maintaining radio silence. Automatically Roland's hands moved over his body, checking his equipment in the near-total blackness. Knife, wrist compass, flashlight, wristwatch, whistle, depth gauge, weight belt, flare, shark repellent, Beretta nine-millimeter automatic sealed in plastic. After another check of his scuba gear he was ready to enter the water.
Comandante Cisneros pressed the buddy line against Sabatini's chest. After fastening it to his wrist Roland gave it one tug. It tugged back then Cisneros slipped into the frigid water as silently as a sea lion.
