Soon Eve and her travelling companions look set to suffer the same fate. Then a storm cuts off their remote jungle camp from the outside world. And Eve knows that if she is ever going to see her young son again, she will be forced to find reserves of courage and resourcefulness she never dreamt she possessed - or die trying.

Good but not his best
I love this writers work and have waited with baited breath for his latest release. Sadly it was not his best book. Greg Hurwitz writes for TV and I think this would have made an excellent drama. but as a book, it lost some of the impact that could have been very effective visually. The narration was good but it still seemed to go on too long as a written piece. I will still wait eagerly for Greg Hurwitz next book!

cannot understand high review ratings
I checked out the reviews on Amazon before ordering,and as I have previously enjoyed books by this author took the plunge.
I am sorely disappointed, the story could have been fine, a little over the top, but ok! However, the element of Muslim terrorism somehow managed to jump into the story for no apparent reason. Frankly I don't know whether I will be able to finish this book, it is way too daft and over the top, and frankly unpleasant!

Not his best
In my opinion not one of his best books. it seemed a little far fetched in some parts and every possible catastrophe befell this group and the lead character, trials of a Mexican jungle, Islamic terrorist, man eating ants, crocodiles, flesh burning plants, tropical storms, collapsed bridges and no communications! Who would go to the jungle on holiday in the tropical storm season?

Very enjoyable
I find Gregg Hurwitz a little hit and miss but this really held my interest.
Slightly (!) implausible for huge chunks of the story but then fiction is allowed to be. A rollercoaster listen, likeable characters and well narrated.

Entertaining.
I don't think the narrator was well matched to the story. She's not bad at all, but an odd choice for a thriller I felt. She reminded me of some of the children's books my kids have listened to. It downplayed the intensity of the story and felt in conflict with what the author was trying to convey in many parts. But the story was good and kept me entertained.

This really was difficult to finish, pages and pages of fill. I have read every book by this author and really can't believe he wrote this . I am going to return it as will never listen to it again.
