Book Review of "The Amazonia"

An F*ing Awesome Read this book was.... A Pure Spectacle... If this is to be made into a film, i see no one else but James Cameron directing this Epic.. Not Spielberg nor roland emmerich(his movies of late have been nothing but tonnes of crap)... Author James Rollins brings us a fantastic adventure called Amazonia. The author sets a pace of almost non-stop action from the beginning and the suspense almost never lets up. When it does, Rollins teaches us about various plants and how they are used to treat disease. This makes for some interesting reading that doesn’t detract from the suspenseful parts in the least.

Brief Synopsis-Four years ago, all contact with a U.S. medical expedition in the wilderness of the Amazon basin was lost; a 30-man team declared lost and likely dead. Now one of its members, Gerald Clark, ex-Special Forces, staggers into a mission but dies within hours. He carries identification and is also a CIA operative. Two years earlier, his left arm was amputated at the shoulder whilst in Iraq. Photographs of the corpse and finger prints reveal that the arm has grown back perfectly. Unable to comprehend this inexplicable event, the United States CIA organises a special team to return to this impenetrable secret world of undreamed-of perils and to follow the trail of the dead man. On arrival, they enlist Nathan Rand, the son of the leader of lost researchers. A mysterious plague, that threatens the Earth's entire population, leads back to Gerald Clark. This means that the route to the expedition's destination must be discovered at any cost. The nightmare that awaits Rand and the team of scientists and seasoned U.S. Army Rangers dwarfs any danger they may have anticipated.
