This book is one of the best I've read and I can read it over and over again. And yes.. Grant found his uncle. But the adventures in this book are top notch. The part I love most was when they had to cross Sheba valley. Congratulations on BOTD.

I feel like this is like those adventure and action movie that most people love. I wonder how the trip to Zona went for Grant Taylor. Did he have many difficulties, many battles to win? How did he think of the land when he went there?

Thank you so much for the review!

The review is excellent and informative and the novel seems to be adventurous and suspenseful, but there is also mention of violence, sex, drinking, and numerous deaths, so I am not sure about reading it and hence I'd wish to pass on it for now.

"Zona, the Forbidden Land" initially sound like something I would like to read. But hearing the protagonist having multiple partners in the story seems a recipe for disasters. It shows that Grantis is untrustworthy. If Grant is focusing on sex alone, how can he keeps his wit and solve a decade old disappearance.

Zona: The Forbidden Land Is an engrossing tale featuring an intriguing actions scenes from here these characters journey to a land that doesn’t exist in the map. The book action scenes on how these wild animals in Zona attack these characters which include Sabre-toothed lions, dire wolves and others will send chills to readers. Congrats on the BOTD.

I love that the detailed account of how the expedition team reached Zona only makes the plot more interesting and keeps the readers engaged until the team reaches there.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy novel about a professor who travels to Russia to find his missing uncle. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The plot is very intriguing. I’m looking forward to dividing this novel to find out the mystery about Zona and if Grant Taylor will be able to have the closure he needs about his uncle’s disappearance. Volkov is intriguing as well. I like mystery novels and this seems to be right up my alley.

What I loved most about this book was the place of the adventure, Zona. It was everything I wanted in an exciting adventure. The animals, plants, and environment, intrigued me. Good review.
