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 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.

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!

The best thing I can say about this book is something my friend's husband said to me. I had recommended the book to his wife, and he told me never to suggest any more books to her because she couldn't stop reading it. To me that says it all. My friend said that she thought that she would stop reading when the action calmed down a little, and before she could catch her breath, it started up again. It was exactly that way for me.

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

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.

Gosh- I'm hooked already and only a quarter of the way into it! I've attended lectures by Mark Plotkin and read his book, Shaman's Apprentice. I am a forestry consultant and have attended Tom Brown, Jr's Tracking School. This is a must read for you adventures out there. (armchair and/or out of doors).

Incredibly intriguing and entertaining story, but it can get a little far-fetched at the end.

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 fromer Special Forces soldier who went in with one arm missing, and came out with both intact...
A fast-paced techo-thriller, fun to read.
Another good action adventure story. Very readable and, of course, far fetched but a fun read.
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. (Great book! Keeps you interested from beginning to end.
A real page turner! Couldn't wait to see what would happen next. A really good read.
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.
couldn't put it down. my favorite J. Rollins book so far!

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. An adventure tale in the grand manner. Rollins takes the reader through the horror and intrigue of the Amazon like no one else.
