"Congo" by Michael Crichton

“Congo” by Michael Crichton

Deep in the rainforest of central Africa, an entire field team has been wiped out in a single night. The only clue is a grainy video image of something gray, powerful, and terrifyingly intelligent.

Now a new expedition races into the jungle in search of the lost city of Zinj and its legendary diamond mines. The team includes Karen Ross, a ruthless young project leader, Peter Elliot, a primatologist, and Amy, a gorilla who speaks sign language. There’s also Captain Munro, a mercenary guide who knows the region’s dangers far too well. Erupting volcanoes, hostile rebels, and a rival corporation stand in their way, and something in the ruins is waiting for them.

The Los Angeles Times called it an ingenious, imaginative, old-fashioned thriller-diller. It’s classic Crichton adventure.

This mass-market paperback is in good condition, and it’s waiting for you at Dead Tree Dreams.
