I was trying to find something different to read, and from searching through my new books to my old ones, I just couldn't figure out what to read next. However, I did end up finding Congo by Michael Crichton, I bought this book from a thrift store back in 2014. I bought so many books over the years from bookstores, thrift stores and library book sales that sometimes I forget what I have until I'm searching through my books.
Anyway, I'm really interested in reading this. From the description, there's a lot going on and despite several mysterious deaths, that doesn't seem to stop the curiosity in trying to find a lost city.
Book: Congo by Michael Crichton
Description:
Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists is mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes.
Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies — all motionless except for one moving image — a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.
In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 “signs,” the most ever learned by a primate, and she likes to fingerpaint. But recently, her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning accuracy, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642 . . . a drawing of an ancient lost city. A new expedition — along with Amy — is sent into the Congo where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying death…
