What it's about:
The Rand scientific expedition entered the lush wilderness of the Amazon and never returned. Years later, one of its members has stumbled out of the world's most inhospitable rainforest—a former Special Forces soldier, scarred, mutilated, terrified, and mere hours from death, who went in with one arm missing . . . and came out with both intact.
Unable to comprehend this inexplicable event, the government sends Nathan Rand into this impenetrable secret world of undreamed-of perils, to follow the trail of his vanished father . . . toward mysteries that must be solved at any cost. But the nightmare that is awaiting Nate and his team of scientists and seasoned U.S. Rangers dwarfs any danger they anticipated . . . an ancient, unspoken terror—a power beyond human imagining—that can forever alter the world beyond the dark, lethal confines of . . .-taken from Barnes&Noble.com
My thoughts:
Amazonia was so much fun to read! It was truly a thrill ride. A man from a missing expedition walks out of the Amazon with both of his arms intact.... then dies. He went into the Amazon four years earlier with only one arm. A second expedition is sent into the Amazon to try to uncover what happened to the first expedition and find out why this man's arm seemingly regenerated. This new expedition is trailed by another party though, one that is working for a pharmaceutical company and wants the secret for regeneration for themselves. Then there are all the dangers of the jungle and a most menacing tribe of Indians that doesn't want the secret let out. On top of all of this the expedition is running out of time because the man with the regrown arm brought something out of the jungle with him...a plague is hitting the United States and the cure is buried somewhere in the Amazon. This is one of those books that is hard to put down because there is just so much action. I can't wait to check out some of Rollins other books.
