| "Leave it," Nate said. "Get away from the edge." The corporal released his pack with a slight splash and yanked his arm back. But he moved too slowly. The monster lunged up out of the depths, jaws open, water sluicing from its scales. It shot ten feet out of the swamp, a tower of armor plating and teeth as long as a man's forearm. The Ranger was pulled off his feet and shoved high into the air, screaming in shock and terror. The huge jaws clamped shut with an audible crunch of bones. Okamoto's scream changed in pitch to pain and disbelief. His body was shaken like a rag doll, legs flailing. Then the creature's bulk dropped back into the depths. "Fire!" Waxman called.” |

| Reviews: |
| "An adventure tale in the grand manner. Rollins takes the reader through the horror and intrigue of the Amazon like no one else. The action never relents." (Clive Cussler) |
| "Amazonia is a nonstop, thrill-a-minute ride. This is just the book for Indiana Jones fans!" (Tess Gerritsen) |
| "Amazonia grabs you by the throat from page one and refuses to let go until the very last page is turned. Rollins is of the most inventive storytellers writing today … Don't you dare miss this one!" (Lincoln Child (Author)) |
| "His pacing is forceful, however, and his atmospherics rich, with giant caimans and jaguars, mutant amphibians and hungry locusts adding to the mayhem, a high body count and a congenial sense of the ridiculous although Rollins plays it deadpan. This is old-fashioned, rugged adventure in the tradition of Haggard and Crichton, told with energy, excitement and a sense of fun." (Publishers Weekly) |
