Zona: The Forbidden Land is a thrilling mystery book written by acclaimed author Fred G. Baker. The book centers on the life of a lecturer, Dr. Taylor Grant, who learns about the assumed death of his adventurous uncle, Randall, and is forced to leave the U.S. for Russia to begin an investigation of his uncle's mysterious disappearance, as he doesn't believe that he is dead. Along the way, he makes new friends and foes as they all learn about his uncle's immediate past trip to a place in Siberia called Zona. They begin to uncover many secrets about the mysterious and dangerous land of Zona. However, will they make it out alive? Grab a copy to find out!

I love how the author wrote about the adventures of the team in Zona in a highly descriptive and immersive manner. His superb descriptions of the places they visited went on to paint a vivid picture of the rugged landscape and the dangers that lie within it. I also enjoyed Dr. Grant's relationship with the wolves; the way he became friends with them, got protected from the attacks of the devouring lions, and also got a heads-up about oncoming danger was really interesting to read. Another interesting aspect is the characters; they are well-developed and realistic. I love how I was able to feel their fear each time they were faced with a new danger.

I have nothing negative to say about this book. I must commend the way it seamlessly blends elements of fantasy and adventure into a cohesive and engaging story. The fact that Grant can communicate with the wolves even when he isn't with them using a telepathic connection is mind-blowing. At a point, I began to wish that Zona was a real place and not a work of fiction. I mean, who wouldn't want to see wolves who could talk and plants that could do wonders for one's health?

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I fell in love with how the pacing of the story is perfectly balanced; it's neither slow nor fast. Also, the author must have taken his time to edit the book, as I was unable to find any errors while I read it. It truly deserves a perfect rating.

Zona: The Forbidden Land is a well-written and exciting adventure story that will appeal to fans of adventure, fantasy, romance, and action. I'd recommend the book only to readers over the age of 16 due to the presence of some sex scenes.

Well done for this suspenseful review. I am keen to read the book to see what Dr. Grant uncovered in the search of his uncle.

[MsChet Cherry]

This is one of the most appealing reviews I've read about this book. It created a well-enticing description of the story.
I'll definitely go for it.
Well-done!

[Aremu Titilopemi Funmilayo]

Hmmm, this review makes the book look intriguing. This is the kind of book where you'll think you know everything about someone only to realize that you don't know them at all when you start digging up. I'll love to read it soon.

[Obc Contentor]

Just like other reviews about this book I've read, the plot descriptions do sound interesting because of its adventurous nature. I hope Grant could find his missing uncle again.

[Cynthia Christabel Okolobi]

Zona was a great book. I like Fred G Bakers vivid descriptions of the land Zona. However, Taylor Grant was not a likeable character though. I didnt like his promiscuity.

[Temi Book]

Zona is an interesting sci-fi novel. I like how expressive the author was, from the landscape to the characters to the different event. I love the unity among some of the characters. Well done!

[Max Tiffany]

Grant's relationship with the wolves made the book more interesting, the team members cooperated among themselves, which is commendable. This story will interest those who love a combination of discovery, romance, violence, and threat.

[Fergie Jessica Edeni]

Similar to other reviews I've encountered, the plot descriptions of this book indeed sound captivating due to its adventurous nature. I share your hope that Grant will successfully locate his missing uncle once again.

[Silvia Idahosa]

The fact that Grant can communicate with the wolves even when he isn't with them using a telepathic connection is mind-blowing. At a point, I began to wish that Zona was a real place and not a work of fiction.

Telepathic connection between Grant and the wolves? That would be a sight to behold. Maybe they should create a movie out of this book just so we can see it. This book seems like an interesting read. Well done!

[Favour Hillz]

Relationship with wolves! That sounds like an interesting adventure. I love the uniqueness of your review and I'm looking forward to reading this book. Thanks for the wonderful review.

[Olivia Reads]

Your review definitely sparks my interest to read the book. Could Uncle Randall be dead? And what could possibly explain his disappearance? Nice review!

[Kene Active]

It must be adventurous to Zona. I wonder if Randall was still alive and hope Grant is successful in his mission. This is a really nice and intruiging review.
