Book Reviews of Amazonia: A Novel
Book Review: 2 1/2 stars Fun but flawed and a bit of a retread
Summary: 3 Stars
A good many of the characters in Amazonia are just beginning to be fleshed out when they die. As a matter of fact only the protagonist and heroine are developed to the point where I really cared if they lived or died. The basic plotline is much the same as Excavation. I'll bet if Rollins writes anther book his hero is a scientist/explorer, troubled by the death of (a) parent(s), has a thing for redheads, and travels into the unknown with a group of companions (at least one of whom always dies) in search of some Earth shattering prehistoric/technological thingy. The Army rangers in the story are unrealistic in my view. First, NCOs are not addressed as sir. Secondly, the typical rank of these guys is a bit low for an elite unit. I would guess most of them would be E-4 to E-6. Third, I doubt they would be such easy targets. They wouldn't for example go bungling about in the dark with flashlights. Yes, flashlights! Elite soldiers just don't make it so easy for an enemy to spot them. Still, it's a quick , fun read and the what if? premise is wild and thought provoking.
