Publisher Description
TERROR HAS A NEW SPECIES
Deep in the Amazon lies the solution to the global energy crisis—a mysterious source of power that will end our dependency on oil.
It's not the only discovery.
When entomologist Rebecca Riley receives a series of strange photographs from expedition leader and former partner, Ed Reardon, she finds herself heading to Brazil to join the team of scientists assembling there. She hasn't seen Ed for more than a year, and their relationship didn't end well.
His revelation, however, is impossible to ignore.
What she uncovers is beyond imagination: strange statues in the jungle… a ruined city built by the refugees of a lost Pacific continent… and a terrifying new species.
She knows this is no ordinary animal. When the team is attacked, the mission becomes a desperate race for survival, and Rebecca must confront a crippling childhood phobia she'd thought long dead and buried.
An ancient enemy has awakened, one whose very existence has implications for all of humankind… and the planet itself.

Interesting story. I enjoyed the plot, setting and writing style of the author.
Spellbinding
I’m no fan of spiders. When I saw this book come up in my ‘Recommended’ list and read the blurb, I ‘noped’ hard. But then I bought the book and started reading it.
And it is one hell of a ride through the jungle. Twists, turns, surprises, and more. And, somehow, made my arachnophobia just a tiny bit worse. It may suffer from too many ‘Climax’ moments but it’s still a damn good read.
Though maybe not for the faint of heart...or the fearful of spiders.
8/10 - hoping for a sequel
A good read.
If you like Andre Norton, Alien, Starship Troopers, Arachnophobia and Anaconda, this is the book for you. There are elements from all these books/movies found in this novel. The writing is quite competent and really pulls you in. It’s a good Sunday read.
