“Gripping…a first-rate nail biter.”

—Tampa Tribune

James Rollins—the author of The Doomsday Key, The Last Oracle, The Judas Strain, Black Order, and other pulse-pounding, New York Times bestsellers—carries readers into the heart of darkness in his classic thriller, Amazonia. Lincoln Child, New York Times bestselling co-author (with Douglas Preston) of Cemetery Dance and other Agent Pendergast thrillers, raves, “Amazonia grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go until the very last page is turned.”

A fun adventure albeit derivative of other “rainforest fantasy adventure” stories. The audio was not edited well; often disjointed and lost flow.

A soldier with one arm walks into the Amazon jungle with his troop. Four years later, he exits, alone, with two intact arms. A group of scientists race to find the answer to this medical mystery. Along the way they encounter:
Amazon natives.
A pet jaguar.
A professional enemy.
An arch enemy.
A shaman who wears the shrunken head of her ex-husband as a pendant around her neck.
Frogs. Piranhas. Frog-piranhas.
A romantic interest.
.... and so much more in this wild jungle adventure.
Not sure how I never heard of this author before, but I can't wait to read/hear more of his work!
The narration was perfect for this kind of story. If you love Indiana Jones kind of adventure, you'll love this. Highly recommended!

Fun!

I had read this as a teenager, this book still is incredible, John's voice brought to life the story as it gripped my soul with a nostalgic feel. James always researches so well his books, a feat most authors in this era cannot claim as Google is their friend. James always provides insight into topics, and in this book he inspired me as a teen to study what plants could do for humans.

A chilling story with satisfying ending.

I've loved this book for quite a while now, it's nice to have the audiobook to go with it.

The narrator didn't blow me away but it wasn't a bad perfomance either.

As for the story is similiar to the first 'Uncharted' video game in pace.
Pretty grounded at first and introducing more fictional material towards the end, if I can say as much without giving anything away.

All-in-all a fascinating romp in one of the more unexplored regions of earth.

An interesting trek in the forest.
