Zoan seems to be a place of mystery and wonder. I'm not sure if I would want to physically experience that particular adventure, but I'm sure that I would enjoy reading the experience of Grant.

I suspect the storyline has some violence in the form of deaths and animal attacks during the expedition. The part I do like, though, is that the description is vivid and transports the reader to the expedition. Plus, I actually like that the author has taken the time to properly lay the foundation of the story. Thank you for the detailed and insightful review.

Fred G. Baker present to us the gift of this tremendous book entitled " Zona: The Forbidden Land."
This book is very interesting and I like it because it has more information concerning scientific fiction of nature and life on the land where by Scientists dealing with observing in it. So it si good book to read in order to get knowledge through Arts of presenting non existential realities
Thank you!

A well-written review. The characters seem well developed to me irrespective of the womanizing aspect by Grant. Sounds like an enthralling read.

It sounds to be an interesting adventure. The information that Grant received that his uncle was dead in the zona land did not discourage him. Rather, he went on to search for him. hopefully, he would be found dead or alive. I'll like to read the book to get the whole information. Thanks for your wonderful review.

This sounds like a well-written book, just as you have captured it in the review. I like the fact that the expedition to Zona made you feel as if you were part of the scientists’ mission. The author must be very talented since it takes great story-telling abilities for a writer to achieve that. And, since I like scientific expeditions into unknown lands, I've purchased and can't wait to read this novel. Thank you for the informative review!

It’s a little weird that this is the book of the day because earlier today I was watching the Expedition Unknown about the Dyatlov Pass incident and the Josh Gates Tonight covering his different expeditions into Russia. I guess I should take it as a sign that I should read this. It sounds interesting enough, and I can only guess that the characters drinking on the expedition would go as well as one would expect (of course, I wouldn’t expect anything less than them drinking themselves into a stupor, either). Thank you for the helpful review.

Sounds like a really adventurous, fast-paced story. I'm not excited about the sexual activity and violence though. Perhaps, checking it out will throw more light on whether or not to read further. Thanks for the review.

The expedition will make improve science. With expedition a human being will know about forest, ocean or land never seen before and that make more know about their country and can manage better after the expedition do.
