Congo

16 minMichael Crichton

What's it about

What happens when a high-tech jungle expedition goes horribly wrong? Discover the chilling answer as you follow a desperate rescue mission into the heart of the Congo, where a lost city, a new species of intelligent ape, and a race for priceless diamonds collide in a deadly struggle for survival. You'll join a team of scientists and mercenaries as they venture deep into the rainforest, guided by a talking gorilla named Amy. Uncover the secrets of the ancient city of Zinj, decipher the terrifying truth behind the killer apes, and learn why cutting-edge technology is no match for nature's deadliest mysteries.

Meet the author
