Short description
A non-stop thriller of scientific discovery and African adventure from the internationally bestselling author of Jurassic Park .
Description
The search for diamonds, a crucial scientific breakthrough and a mythical ruined city set off this adventure into the heart of the Congolese jungle.
The American expedition is led by Karen Ross, desperate to find her husband and recover the data he found before he disappeared. But there are other teams trying to get there first, and the way is strewn with life-threatening dangers -- plane crashes, civil wars and a dormant volcano awoken by dormant explosives.
In the tradition of Arthur Conan Doyle and H. Rider Haggard, Congo is a novel of high adventure from the master of the modern thriller.
Blurb
Film tie-in to Crichton's latest film. Deep in the heart of the Congo an eight-person expedition is killed mysteriously and rather brutally. Back in San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot is stunned when Amy, the gorilla he has been working with, draws a painting of the lost city the expedition was looking for. A new team is sent back to the Congo... Congo was first published in 1980.Biography
