Altar of Eden

James Rollins has been my favorite author for nearly a decade. This book certainly did not disappoint.

I found Altar of Eden to be fast-paced and believable (because he typically bases the science fiction on actual historical/scientific fact). The characters were well developed and the description of the animals was very detailed.

Fast moving with enough technical details to make the storyline believable and riveting. The depth of the characters was sufficient to care about them without being overly detailed. Worth any summertime read.

After the fall of Baghdad, looters discover a secret laboratory beneath the zoo, and allow more than animals to escape. Seven years later a fishing trawler shipwrecks with very unusual things aboard. U.S Border Patrol agent, Jack Menard, is trying to track down the perpetrators of this horrible cargo. Twists and turns, packed with action make this a great read. I highly recommend it.

Like his other books Rollins gives little bites of information on the upcoming story in the early stages of the book. Keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat.. Interesting storyline, quite scientific- I loved it!

I loved this book! I loved that the fictional situation is based in real world possibilities! I felt a throwback to my education, and am proud of myself that I remembered enough science and animal behavior to understand the complex subject! An excellent book!

Great book! I love the science behind the fiction, you can really see this becoming a reality with all the breakthroughs in genetic research. James Rollins is the master at suspense and keeping You glued to the pages.

I absolutely love the Simga series, but it was nice reading a throw back Rollins book. As he does so well, Rollins combines great story telling with a touch of science fiction. As a result you end up with a thrilling page turner that you cant put down. Rollins is the type of author that I cant wait for the next book.
