Jungle justice? Relic assesses people by gut feeling. What if he's the one responsible for the Dylan's head injury?

Relic seems to be an interesting character. He is reminiscent of The Saint (Simon Templar), according to the first few pages: a hell-raising vigilante. I will really enjoy this book. Thank you for the amazing review.

Wow, Relic sounds like quite the wild child, but with a sensitive streak. I like him immensely already. Thank you for your review, and congratulations on Book of the Day!

Thanks for the review. It seems like an intriguing thriller, packed full of twists and turns. Where did the diamonds came from, and what were they doing in the river? I'd love to find out.

Your review and the Amazon sample are proof enough that I should get a copy of this novel.

Well, I admit that this novel would be an interesting book for many, but it's just not for me. Maybe a movie based on this book would be more compelling, but for now I wasn't that impressed.

The opening of the story sounds like a script of a fitness exercise routine, next goes something that really reminded my of Peter Rabbit story (really!). While it was getting better later on, I still wasn't caught. I believe that the story would benefit from a more dynamic narrative.

This seems like a very interesting book to read with lot of action and adventure. I am very much intrigued by the character Relic, i especially curious as how the interesting plot summary you gave will affect him and how the plot unfolding will shape and change his character development. i love these kind of stories where the character has to face not only the story plot conflict but also internal personal conflicts. This was good review giving a good small insight of the book. i will definitely check this book out in the future.

This sounds like an adventure that shouldn't be missed. I kook forward to meeting Relic.
I'm always appreciative when an author takes the trouble to make a book function well as a standalone when it's part of a series. I think it's worth the effort as it makes me want to read the entire series. Thanks for the review.
