The First Bird: Episode 2
The second episode is every bit as good as the first. It boasts pre-historic creatures, hidden treasure, vomit, running, caves, and spiders the size of Rottweilers. It's adventure turned horror in a Lost World setting. And the last episode is supposed to be an apocalyptic world setting, so I'm game to keep reading. Methinks I'm going to be using this author to satisfy my adventure-style popcorn-read needs in the future.Typical quotes:
"The scream exploded out of the jungle again - closer this time - and Megan cringed. Something was being torn apart literally a few dozen feet away. 'What the f*** is that?'. Carla looked up and pulled a face. 'I don't know, but it sounds like it's having a bad day.'"
and
"I'm about to become a milkshake, he thought morbidly."
Mmm.. just another day in a tropical paradise.
