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 . . .

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.

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. :)

This is my first Rollins book. It is a gripping adventure tale that takes off fast from the beginning and builds up to ludacrous speed.
Featuring protaganists that you really like and villains so evil they care nothing that all human life is on the brink of extinction. Rollins weaves a Very Entertaining story. I really enjoyed it.
As soon as I finished it I listed it here and ordered another book by Rollins.

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.

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.

What a great book!! I couldn't put it down. It struck every emotion, just what I like in a book!!! The secret world of the Amazon, who knows what you will find there.... The Tampa Tribune has it right on the cover "Gripping... A first-rate nail biter." I just can't get enough of this author!

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.

What a GREAT book. Keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. If you want a really good read, good plot, good characters, escape into the pages of Amazonia.
Another good action adventure story. Very readable and, of course, far fetched but a fun read.
This was very interesting book and I enjoyed reading it. Will look for more by this author.
I got so swept up in James Rollins' intense thrill ride through the jungles of the Amazon I could almost feel the insects swarming around me. If you like action packed, intelligent books I whole heartedly recommend this book!
Lee J. (A real page turner! Couldn't wait to see what would happen next. A really good read.
