This is the first book I read by James Rollins. It starts out with an expedition disappearing into the Amazon jungle and one of them coming out 4 years later. He had gone in with one arm and came a back out with two, and then he dies. The son of one of the original expedition members organzies another expedition to go in and see if they can find out what happened to them(and, of course, try to find out how the guy grew his arm back!). It is a really good book with adventure(think Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom type) and paranormal (at one point there are fish like creatures that live in water but also can travel on land and are chasing people). It is a book that I have on my "Keep to read again" shelf and have read it several times. James Rollins first several books all have adventure and paranormal in them, but I like this one better than the others.
