On good solid read. I wouldn't expect anything less from GB.Pieter Jorganson is a social anthropologist. He's in Brazil where he discovers and unknow tribe. A tribe that he likens to the missing link.While there he sees a bird. A bird that is unlike anything he's ever seen. When he leaves he takes the bird with him with thoughts of a nobel prize and richs for himself.He brings the bird back into the States. Along with the bird he brings mites. These mites will be the start of a pandemic. A pandemic that could take over the world.Enter Carla Nero. She's a scientis with the CDC. She needs a linguist to go with her to Brazil. She needs to go there to try and contact the tribe to see if she can get hold of a cure for the mites.Of course the best liguist and archealogist around is Matt Kearns.Carla contacts Matt and lays out what she wants to do and the fact that she wants him to come with her and the rest of her team of scientists.Matt and his girlfriend, another anthropologist, Meghan Hannaford, agree to go.So starts one hell of a story with a lost world, missing links and monsters.I'm sure by the time its all over Matt will be wishing Alex Hunter is along for this oh so dangerous ride.Five stars.
