The atmosphere of this book is downright amazing. Right from the start
you'll find yourself drawn into the world portrayed by Nathan. The
pacing and description of this book is exquisite, ensuring that you'll
immediately be drawn into the deep Amazon like Nathan and stuck in a
prospecting expedition from hell. Still on the pacing, there's neither
anything rushed nor ever is it plodding along at a crawl. In fact, it's
reached that perfect pace that keeps the reader constantly hooked and
unwilling to ever put down the book even for short periods of time. Each
of the members of the expedition are interesting in their own way, and
written well enough to make you care even if they're not the nicest
people to be stuck with.
This book is definitely different in a
good way: all the elements of horror, suspense, and mystery are tightly
worked together to form the central plot without simply attempting to
shoe horn in random gimmicks to keep the reader's attention. And boy
does it work. Once you pick up and start reading this, you're not going
to want to even get up and grab a snack without dragging the story with
you.
Anyway, after grabbing this book on a whim this story turned
out surprisingly entertaining and wholly engaging. If this is a sign
that the rest of his stories are anything like this one, I will
definitely be perusing his other stories, and looking forward to future
stories from Mr. Brown.
