Deep in the Amazon jungle, members of a scientific expedition are disappearing! Jake fears his dad, a bat biologist, is in danger. Against his father's wishes, he flies to Brazil to join the team, and embarks on his own investigation. High up in the treacherous rainforest canopy, something is waiting for him. Something as ancient as the dinosaurs, but fiercer. Something that wants a gruesome revenge!

Although revolting gory, they are well written and extremely fast moving.' -- Publishing News, April 2001 'Not for the fainthearted, Zindel has found a formula that will entice the teen reader.' -- Children's Books in Ireland, Spring 2001
