About this listen

From Graham Brown, co-author of the New York Times best-selling thriller Devil's Gate with Clive Cussler, comes Black Rain....

Covert government operative Danielle Laidlaw leads an expedition into the deepest reaches of the Amazon in search of a legendary Mayan city. Assisted by a renowned university professor and protected by a mercenary named Hawker, her team journeys into the tangled rain forest - unaware that they are replacements for a group that vanished weeks before, and that the treasure they are seeking is no mere artifact but a breakthrough discovery that could transform the world.

Shadowed by a ruthless billionaire, threatened by a violent indigenous tribe, and stalked by an unseen enemy that leaves battered corpses in its wake, the group desperately seeks the connection between the deadly reality of the Mayan legend, the nomadic tribe that haunts them, and the chilling secret buried beneath the ancient ruins.

Not the genre I was expecting

I thought it was really interesting to start but then the green animals arrived and I lost some interest

Action Packed

This story was reminiscent of Michael Crichton. My only complaint is that it kept me awake listening for most of the night.

Lots of fun!

great pace, great variety of characters, interesting storyline that keeps you engaged. I also like that it is totally clean doesn't have garbage in it. maybe a little gory at times, but I guess that doesn't bother me as much? 🤷‍♂️

Enjoyed this.

Good action and character development. None of the characters were over-the-top superhuman.
Looking forward to listening to more of these.

Wow

I am impressed. I had my doubts about this book as I began listening to it. There have been a number of such tales that held great promise only to disappoint as the story developed. Most cases it was the author’s attempt to develop the protagonist. It becomes long winded and boring. Not this story it’s pretty good, though with a cluster of loose threads at the end. I hope they will be cleared up in the next book.

I X-File you not!

I don't want to give anything away. This was a fun ride with several movie scene worthy moments.

If you enjoy investigative mysteries, jungle expeditions, and a few sciences mixed in, you should give this book a listen.

Well Done

There are very few books that I can't wait to get back too. This was one. I loved the characters and the surprising story line. Well done. He will become one of my favorite authors. The narrating was superb. Really made the book pop.

Great story/ great narration

I chose this book for the narrator. And I was in between credits…! Im somewhat new to his work and find him to be very good.
This was a great match between the story and the narrator. Lots of action, lots of intrigue, and the narrator adds depth and substance to it all.
Nice surprise to find a very good story included as part of my membership and not use a credit.
