Characters and plot

Liked the plot development and the imaginative story. Covered a topic I have had great interest in.

Hmmm

Starts a bit slow. Began to have my doubts about it, but eventually it picked up speed and actually went somewhere. I’m glad it took the turn it did since the way it was going I expected it to be like “At the Mountains of Madness”, but no, then I expected “Congo”. Off the mark again. Similar, but not the same.

Elliot

Moved along well and easy to visualize
Enjoyed the characters. Looking forward to another book by this author

great one

great one , i like it very much,keep on going
good ,wish you have a good day

Fantastic adventure!

I was hesitant about starting this book, because far too often the protagonist just feels like they know everything all the time and the characters are there to either oppose or support accordingly to their archetype. This feels different… There is a Christopher Golden/Michael Crichton vibe that I enjoy, but it’s not as dark or as bleak as those authors. The main character definitely feels like he is Lara Croft’s more bookish cousin.
