Great fun and adventure!

Another classic Rollins adventure novel. I consider his books great escape from the craziness of my own life to those characters in his books and this book was unique in many ways. Reviving the Inca lore and developing creatures that actually could be possible (from my paleontological standpoint as a vertebrate paleontologist) was a fascinating escape from the typical scientific literature I normally read. True adventure from start to finish!

GREAT READ!!

I am a Douglas Preston - Lincoln Child fan that ran out of books to read. THEN I discovered James Rollins. If you like the scare you get from a good horror movie then this author is for you. Throw in a little romance, friendship, detrayal, greed (and all those other human emotions) and sit back and enjoy.

Better and Better!

I am happy to report that James Rollins second book is even better than his first! Since reading Subterranean last year, I have impatiently awaited James Rollins' new book. This book was exciting and fast paced and contained all of the elements that are so close to my heart...adventure, archaeological discoveries, romance, and just plain good fun. I particularly love the Indiana Jones type of storyline. Now I am totally bereft...after waiting for so long to read it, I completed it in one sitting. Please Mr. Rollins write faster or I will have to force myself to read slower. Only problem is that once you pick one of James Rollins' books up, you cant put it back down. I honestly dont think I can wait another year for your next book.

Better and Better!

I have been waiting impatiently for the second James Rollins book and have certainly not been disappointed. James Rollins just gets better and better. This adventure was fast paced and combined all of my favorite elements such as adventure, lost civilizations, sprinkled with a little romance. There are not a great many adventure novels written about South American civilizations making it a fresh subject for an archaeological adventure. My biggest disappointment was that I read it in one sitting and now have to wait for Rollins next book. He needs to either learn to write faster or I need to learn to read slower. Please hurry Mr Rollins with your next adventure!
