Ben Cartwright, former soldier, home to mourn the loss of his father stumbles upon cryptic letters from the past between the author, Arthur Conan Doyle and his great, great grandfather who vanished while exploring the Amazon jungle in 1908.
Amazingly, these letters lead Ben to believe that his ancestor’s expedition was the basis for Doyle’s fantastical tale of a lost world inhabited by long extinct creatures. As Ben digs some more he finds clues to the whereabouts of a lost notebook that might contain a map to a place that is home to creatures that would rewrite everything known about history, biology and evolution.
But other parties now know about the notebook, and will do anything to obtain it. For Ben and his friends, it becomes a race against time and against ruthless rivals.
In the remotest corners of Venezuela, along winding river trails known only to lost tribes, and through near impenetrable jungle, Ben and his novice team find a forbidden place more terrifying and dangerous than anything they could ever have imagined.

I loved this book! Primordia grabbed me from the start, and I couldn't put it down. It kept me up until the wee hours of the morning until I finished it.
Amazing adventure. Starts slow and then boils to a somewhat standard ending for its type, but done in a way that will have you begging for a sequel. Which fortunately, released just before I read this book. :)
All you really need to know though is its basic premise: What if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were inspired to write The Lost World by an ill-fated yet real journey?
J'ai vraiment aimé ce livre et la manière dont l'auteur s'est inspiré du "Monde Perdu" de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle comme base de son récit (Ça m'a d'ailleurs donné envie de le lire).
L'histoire se met en place rapidement mais l'action n'arrive vraiment que dans la seconde partie du livre. Cela dit, ce n'est pas vraiment un problème et le livre se lit très bien.

I really liked this book and how the author used Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" as the basis for his story (it actually made me want to read it).
The story gets going quickly but the action doesn't really happen until the second half of the book. That said, it's not really a problem and the book is a very good read.
