Lucky bastard, but like I said, it might drop down to 1star one day. Most of my 1 star are for my dnf books, so I might go ahead and give this a 2. I'm still contemplating whether I should give it 1 or 2 stars. My rating now might change depending on my further assessment of the novel. Love the ending!! Highly recommend it to James Rollins' fans and sci-fi thriller readers. Minus half a star for some parts that are a little out there. I love Amazonia for blending action, mystery, botany, medicine, Amazonian tribe tradition, and rituals into this excellent read. Not for the faint of heart, and if you dislike the good guys dying in a novel, this is probably not for you. It appears everything in the jungle is out to eat or kill you in the most horrifying way possible. This is such an exciting and scary adventure. People keep going there and do not return. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries and illness. He's marked with a blue and red symbol of a ghost tribe on his body that a native tribe says signifies an evil spirit. He doesn't have a tongue but somehow grew his amputated arm back. He is skin on bones with flies on his oozing sores and maggots chowing his wounds. Remarkably an ex-special force/CIA guy makes his way to a remote village four years after he and the 30 research team went missing, but barely. I really dig this one and I'm not a fan of hot sweaty settings like the Amazon (prefer cold) but Wowza this one is a winner! I think I'm enjoying James Rollins standalone novels more than his hit series, Sigma Force.
