“Thrilling.” —The New York Times Book Review

Deep in the African rainforest, near the ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, a field expedition is brutally killed. At the Houston-based Earth Resources Technology Services, Inc., a horrified supervisor watches a gruesome video transmission of that ill-fated group and sees a haunting, grainy, man-like blur moving amongst the bodies. In San Francisco, an extraordinary gorilla named Amy, who has a 620-sign vocabulary, may hold the secret to that fierce carnage. Immediately, a new expedition is sent to the Congo with Amy in tow, descending into a secret, forbidden world where the only escape may be through the grisliest death.

I liked the book, the only problem was it being slow at times, making it hard to read on, but otherwise, a pretty good book!

I haven't bought the book but I have watched the movie. I never even new itvwas a book until now and I didn't kniw that it was written by the same guy who wrote Jurassic Park.

I've read this book 3 or 4 times and its in my top 3 favorite MC novels along with Sphere & Jurassic Park
