A review by gbdill
Altar of Eden by James Rollins
2.0
Rednecks from the swamp collide with brilliant scientists gone mad.
I really pushed myself to finish this book. The first half of the story was excellent; quite compelling and adventurous. Mutant saber-toothed tiger on the loose, protecting its young and devouring unsuspecting people. The second half of the story gets lost in a bunch of gunfights and explosives on some obscure island in the Caribbean.
Not Rollins best work, but certainly not his worst either. Two-stars for his unique creativity. But, too lengthy of a story that inevitably loses its momentum to warrant a higher rating.
