Synopsis:
Deep in the heart of the darkest region of the Congo- near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj- an eight-person field expedition dies mysteriously and brutally in a matter of minutes. Ten thousand miles away- at the Houston-based Earth Resources Technology Services- Inc.- supervisor Karen Ross watches a gruesome video transmission of that ill-fated team: a camp destroyed- tents crushed and torn- equipment scattered in the mud alongside bodies...and the grainy- moving image of a dark- blurred shape. In San Francisco- primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy- an extraordinary gorilla with a 620 "sign” vocabulary and a fondness for finger painting. Her recent drawing matches- with stunning accuracy- the frayed- brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642...a drawing of the ancient lost city. Immediately- a new expedition is sent into the Congo- descending into a secret world where the only way out may be through the grisliest death...
