Sounds like a cool (no pun intended) adventure story. I've been reading a lot of non-fiction/Thriller books but this sounds interesting and realistic enough to cause me to switch things up a bit.

''It was like going on the expedition safely with the team and not actually being in any danger.''

Thank you for such a thorough and inviting review

I love it when a book sicks you in and makes you feel. Your review has piqued my interest. I look forward to diving into this book. Lovely review! Thank you.

Zona sounds like an interesting zone despite the wild danger present. I hope Grant was able to unveil the mysteries and i also hope that the death of Uncle Randall was negated eventually. Thanks for an amazing review. Congratulations BOTD.

I would like to read this adventure filled story, it seems searching for his uncle in Zona has turned out to be a journey of fun and adventure for Grant and his team. Congrats to the book of the day.

This sounds like an action-packed book with a strong focus on character development. I am interested to learn more details surrounding the expedition. The alchohol consumption and violence could deter some readers, though--but I am looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Today's BOTD is one of adventure, suspense, and romance. Join Grant on an action-packed expedition as he follows the clues to find his lost uncle. Great for fans of SciFi and mystery. Thank you so much for the amazing review!!

I know right! Outdated plot. But I guess he's good writing saved the day/novel

You know what they say, "what happens in Russia..." um... Well I'm assuming there's a saying like that
