Once again, Michael McBride has managed to astound me with the accuracy and details that he puts into his novels.  BURIAL GROUND takes place mainly in Peru, and the imagery conveyed is enough to make you feel as though you were actually walking through there with the characters.  McBride doesn't take any short-cuts when it comes to atmosphere and setting--he painstakingly points out all the intricacies such as vegetation, insect life, even as much as the minute differences on the feathers of different types of birds!With the exception of a few characters (whom I felt played relatively minor roles), McBride goes into enough background with each person involved that you don't get the stereotypical feeling common with so many other books.  His novels and novellas are realistic on so many levels.  The graphic descriptions and gore combined with scientific explanations and injections made this a novel that really carried me away!Another incredible read from an author at the top of his game!Highly recommended!
