'Burial Ground' is a must-have for fans of action-packed horror thrillers. McBride, who never fails to put out a superior product, has outdone himself with this book. Without giving too much away, let's just say that between the jungle setting, the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican lost cultures, the sinister cast of characters, and the dark things lurking in the shadows, this book has it all. A lot of the reviews seem to be comparing 'Burial Ground' to some of Crighton's works, but I feel Michael McBride's writing and stories are more in the vein (and I do mean 'vein!') of the best books by Preston & Childs. I call it action-adventure horror with a strong basis in biological science.But no matter what you call it, the final result is that McBride's books are the kind you have trouble putting down once you start them. And this one is no exception.
