This adventure story follows a group of specialists into the forests of Peru in search of answers. In short they find much more than they bargained for and their struggle for survival is sometimes the edge of your seat stuff.The story builds well, the characters are well developed and as they travel deeper into the forests, the feeling that their environment is becoming more sinister is quite well done.This is difficult as I don't want to give anything away, however, when the group finally stumble upon something they wish they had never laid eyes on (this part had been building up slowly from about half way through), it is written very effectively and packs a good punch which I enjoyed. I actually found myself holding my breath for a short period at one point. This author knows how to write great seat of your pants adventure.I would have given 5 stars, however, to be honest I found the ending very rushed and a little weak. Almost as if the author had run out of either time, or interest in the story. The intensity of the story had been slowly building and building since before the halfway point. The slow build up was quite well done, but then it felt like the ending was like hitting a brick wall.That written, however, I will be reading other books by this author. I recommend!
