Una antigua leyenda indígena dice que en lo más profundo de la jungla del Amazonas, en la región «donde las muchas muertes caminan en la noche», habitan los Indele. Pero la brillante investigadora Danielle Laidlaw no cree en leyendas. Su empresa la envía al corazón de la selva amazónica con la excusa de una expedición arqueológica para conseguir lo que podría convertirse en la fuente de energía definitiva.

The book specified for sleepless nights, This is a horror thriller in the style of the 80s - very few pieces of science detached from their context, a dark jungle, strong women and gnarled men, a quarter of a story you're sure you've heard sometime before - and here you got an excellent thriller. This mixture has always succeeded, and it is successful this time too. This is not a masterpiece and indeed not a thorough research book, but yes, a fun book that does not take itself to be serious.

Not bad. Interesting to have an 'evil Corp after the good 'stuff' as opposed to something like The Event series.Based on the Mayan calendar and 2012 end of the world prophesy. ( )

The dust jacket was a little off. This is a great Mayan archeological tale that you'll enjoy. Riff with temples and gods and mystery! Oh my! A solid story, yet the number of characters left me a little confused at times. Once the excess was murdered off, a few main characters started to shine. I feel the second story in this series (Black Sun) is going to be better. I'm off to find out! ( )

I was not overly impressed with this book. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. I feel like Graham Brown is trying to be a mix between Michael Crichton (RIP) and Dan Brown but doesn't quite hit the mark well with either effort.

"Black Rain" tells the story of a somewhat secretive US governmental program that tries to get its hands on new and emerging technologies. So a team is sent to Brazil to look for evidence of crystals that can create energy via cold fusion. They run into strange monsters and a warrior native tribe that thwarts them at every turn.

The action is not bad, the dialogue OK, and the characters are fine enough. But there's a solution to their problem that they eventually take care of, but had they done so sooner, much of their problems would have been alleviated.

Based on the reviews, I was quite disappointed that it didn't do for me what it's done for others. ( )
