Frights in the Amazon ...

This book, written by James Rollins in 2002 above those where the Sigma Force launches all his strength to counteract the dangers that threaten humanity. That said, the dangers have not expected.
From the first pages, the book takes its rhythm. A dying man takes refuge in a lost work in the Amazon jungle. He will not have the time to give her name. Good information to identify this adventurer who has both arms, but ... was armed when he disappeared four years earlier with other researchers?
No? Yes!

Immediately, an expedition sets out to find other missing: Yankees or some local scientists and a squadron of highly trained rangers to protect them (plus a traitor to the road). Objectives: search for survivors and medicinal plants in the virtues jealously kept secret by the shamans of the forest.
Secrets tempting also to a French doctor, corrupted by large pharmaceutical labs, which launches against shipping-trained mercenaries bags and ropes. A medic fallen and unscrupulous, flanked by a psychopath shaman, witch, reducing head, torturer and whatnot and is also his mistress, what CV ... Meanwhile a strange deadly epidemic begins to decimate the planet. .. Besides, H1N1 is hay fever.

Lovers of exotic adventures will be delighted. In the green hell, our heroes will confront flora and voracious wildlife, poisonous and mutant; a nightmare. As in his books to come Rollins mixture greedily science, genetics here, the mystery and the irrational, the taboo legends. Those who dreamed with the Lost World of Conan Doyle or even Codex Douglas Preston will not be disappointed.
And this book certainly writing probably not great but nervous, do not leave. It consumes you, namely by what and how. And for a change, no shopping sprees from country to country and too wacky gadgets.

I recommend this book to lovers of Rollins. We should not seek too high fine psychology and literature, there are few lengths.
Very American but exciting, you will not see your plants without fear!
