A strange subterranean cave in Croatia is discovered full of
ancient hominin artifacts- ones that seem way too advanced for the time.
However, before archaeologists can examine the site, they are attacked by
Chinese operatives who seem to want to destroy the area. On the other side of
the world, a primate research center is massacred and its main subject, a
gorilla hybrid called Baako, is kidnapped. Sigma Force commander Gray Pierce is
called in, and the chase is on to find out the true meaning around this attack-
a chase that leads him around the world, learning secrets about Atlantis, human
intelligence, and the ingenuity of our ancestors.
I enjoyed reading The Bone Labyrinth, as it talked about
many interesting ideas and addressed some current issues in the world right
now. Its discussion on eugenics, animal testing, and God was interesting to
read. However, it seemed pretty lackluster- which isn't surprising, as James
Rollins and other authors like him (Clive Cussler and Dan Brown) have cool
ideas, but terrible writing. To be fair, it still drew me in and it was a great
adventure story to read. Fans of Clive Cussler/Dan Brown's writing style would
probably enjoy this. People who want a book that will entertain them but not
challenge them in any way would like this book as well. I would recommend
reading this if you enjoy action and conspiracy and want to pass the time.
