Publisher's summary

The Rand scientific expedition entered the lush wilderness of the Amazon and never returned. Years later, one of its members has stumbled out of the world's most inhospitable rainforest - a former Special Forces soldier, scarred, mutilated, terrified, and mere hours from death, who went in with one arm missing...and came out with both intact.

Unable to comprehend this inexplicable event, the government sends Nathan Rand into this impenetrable secret world of undreamed-of perils, to follow the trail of his vanished father...toward mysteries that must be solved at any cost.

But the nightmare that is awaiting Nate and his team of scientists and seasoned U.S. Rangers dwarfs any danger they anticipated - an ancient, unspoken terror, a power beyond human imagining - that can forever alter the world.

Enjoyed.

We have listened to two James Rollins books. This one was as good as the first. The reader was good.

Lots of action. Vivid description

Setting description great. Enjoyed reader who was clear. No voice changes for different characters. But was accented at times.

Decent but predictable.

If you liked uncharted 2 then you'll like this. The story gets predictable though. The twists don't hit as hard as the author probably wanted them to because you can already see them coming. I'm not even sure why the "bad thing that can end the world" is even a bad thing.

The narrator is fine but he occasionally takes pauses that are longer than necessary and they tend to ruin the pacing of the listen because you're expecting a new character to start speaking but the narrator just took a full second pause in the middle of a sentence.

Great story, sitting on the edge of my seat

A lot of action, great book to listen to, couldn’t wait for the next time I could listen to it. I listened to this book because my first Rollins novel was ice hunters which I loved. My only issue was the editing and a small amount of the narrating. A couple times a random paragraph was out of place, pauses were awkward at times, a pause where there shouldn’t be any or the opposite . But overall loved the book.

Very enjoyable a little fantastical, but still good . His later series are definitely better, but this was definitely a good start.

A Good Adventure Story

I absolutely love stories of adventure and treasure hunting. Although this book was a little more supernatural than I was expecting, I still really loved the suspense. I found myself obsessing over what might happen until I could get back to listening.

Different - in a good way

Starts out slow & somewhat confusing, but well worth the effort. Surprises lurk in every corner.
