Summary:
Deep in the African rainfall forest, near the legendary ruins from the Shed Town of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists are mysteriously and brutally killed in just a matter of minutes.
Ten thousand miles aside, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmitting from the aftermath: a camp damaged, tents smashed and torn, equipment dispersed in the mud alongside deceased bodies-all motionless aside from one moving image-a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.
In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works together with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 “signs,” one of the most ever learned with a primate, and she loves to finger paint. But recently her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning precision, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back again to 1642…a drawing of an ancient lost city. A new expedition-along with Amy-is sent in to the Congo, where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying loss of life.…
Congo was made into a film directed by Frank Marshall.
