A review by colls
Altar of Eden by James Rollins

3.0

This was one of the free eBooks for the nook on B&N and was an enjoyable enough read for a couple of flights.
James Rollins writes books that remind me of an Indiana Jones adventure. Is that a genre? This one involves scientists on an island (queue the Jurrassic Park theme) who are mucking about with DNA/RNA and all sorts of scientific technobabble.
The protagnoist was going to be the woman scientist/vet, but somehow along the line it became all about Jack and his misunderstood youth, war hero record and manly fire power that saved them all from destruction.
Oh, wait. The woman saved them all from destruction because... well, I don't want to spoil you.
