Product Description

Deep in the heart of the darkest region of the Congo, an eight-person field expedition dies mysteriously and brutally in a matter of minutes...

Ten thousand miles away, at the Houston-based Earth Resources Technology Services, Inc., supervisor Karen Ross watches a gruesome video transmission of that ill-fated team: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside bodies - and the grainy, moving image of a dark, blurred shape...

In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with a 620 "sign" vocabulary and a fondness for finger painting. Her recent drawing matches, with stunning accuracy, the frayed, bitter pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642 - a drawing of an ancient lost city. Immediately, a new expedition is sent into the Congo, descending into a secret world where the only way out may be through the grisliest death...

This was for my Son who said it was an enjoyable book and had a good story line, he would recommend it. I haven't read it myself so this is all I can say.

A great book but nothing like the film. Highly detailed and a very good read, one of Crichton's finest. Good postage as always.

Must Read!
Fabulous book, so much better than the film, keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very first page.
Definately one of Crichton's best.

A really good read
This was the first Michael Crighton book I read (other than Jurassic Park, which I only read because of the film...) and it made me want to read more of his novels. Read more

Not Crichton's Best.
I bought the book after watching the film first. I was hoping that the fact that the books are better than the film would be true in this case. Read more

Disappointing
When I started reading Congo, I was intrigued. Gorillas learning sign language? An expedition into the jungle to face a great unknown danger? How could it fail! Yet. Read more

It DOESN"T do it in the Congo
The first Crichton book I've read will be the last. Poorly written, barely believable, filled with elementary errors, one-dimensional characters and absurd plot twists. Read more

Excellent.
I saw the film version of this book and it was rubbish. When I read the book it was a million times better! Read more
