Book Description:

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 beyond the dark, lethal confines of . . .

Excellent Read, and a quick one! James Rollins takes us on another adventure, this time through the lush and dangerous jungles of the Amazon in search of a cure that could save mankind from a strange new plague. What they uncover is amazing, horrific, and spellbindingly wonderful to read. I definitely recommend this one. One of the better from 'his' bookshelf. :)

Another super James Rollins adventure story! I took this book with me on a business trip to Florida and read it on the plane and at the hotel. Hard to put down with non-stop action and very interesting premises about life itself and how man may have evolved. Some very wicked people were also in this adventure - Louis Favre and his Indian girl-friend "Tshui" (who got thrills out of torture and shrinking heads!) had to be some of the nastiest villians I have encountered in recent memory. Overall - a fun and exciting read.

This was a wonderful adventure! You have to suspend reality to really get into the story, but it is an awesome read. If you enjoy Ckive Cussler novels this is a sure bet for you.

This book grabbed me from the first page and wouldn't let me go. It reminded me of Micheal Crichton's "Congo" but was a thousand times better. Amazonia was the first book I've read of James Rollins, but I am definitely going to hunt down his others! A must read for everyone who enjoys this genre.

A fun book for what it was. Reminded me of Michael Chriton's book, not the movie, Congo.

Very silly fantasy.

This book grabbed me from the first page. Could not put it down. Its a combination of adventure and science fiction takinig the reader into the utmost reaches of the Amazon jungle and the secrets to be discovered there. I sincerely hope the human race doesn't destroy this part of the world. It is ripe for the imaginations of writers such as Rollins and for science as well.

Intriguing tale mixing biological science, myths, violence and fantasy in a jungle setting

Never read this author before but will certainly look for more. A little science, a lot of mystery, a ton of adventure. Wow!

A team sets off on an expedition to the rain forests of the Amazon, following the trail of a previous expedition that vanished. Grabs you from the start, a hard book to put down. I am going to read more of Rollins's books.
