Amazonia

I just finished reading James Rollins book Amazonia, which I picked up at the Beautiful Junk Sale, which is sponsored by The Action Center, the non-profit organization my friend Valarie works for.  During the last hour of the sale, you can buy a grocery bag full of books for $10, and I go around and throw anything even remotely interesting in the bag.  Amazonia was one of those books, and I figured what the heck, read it and get your ten dollars worth.  The last book I read by Rollins was The Seventh Plague, which revolved around a world threatening plague that begins in Africa.  Amazonia, written about 15 years ago, revolves around  a plague that begins in South America.  Am I noticing a trend here?  In any case, it was a good read and definitely kept me entertained.  Check it out at your local bookstore.
