Black Rain

Hawker & Laidlaw Series, Book 1

By: Graham Brown

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

From Graham Brown, co-author of the New York Times best-selling thriller Devil's Gate with Clive Cussler, comes Black Rain....

Covert government operative Danielle Laidlaw leads an expedition into the deepest reaches of the Amazon in search of a legendary Mayan city. Assisted by a renowned university professor and protected by a mercenary named Hawker, her team journeys into the tangled rain forest - unaware that they are replacements for a group that vanished weeks before, and that the treasure they are seeking is no mere artifact but a breakthrough discovery that could transform the world.

Shadowed by a ruthless billionaire, threatened by a violent indigenous tribe, and stalked by an unseen enemy that leaves battered corpses in its wake, the group desperately seeks the connection between the deadly reality of the Mayan legend, the nomadic tribe that haunts them, and the chilling secret buried beneath the ancient ruins.

thriller

very good and interesting. worth a listen. good story line. interesting approach. I liked it

Not the genre I was expecting

I thought it was really interesting to start but then the green animals arrived and I lost some interest

Action Packed

This story was reminiscent of Michael Crichton. My only complaint is that it kept me awake listening for most of the night.

Lots of fun!

great pace, great variety of characters, interesting storyline that keeps you engaged. I also like that it is totally clean doesn't have garbage in it. maybe a little gory at times, but I guess that doesn't bother me as much? 🤷‍♂️

After All That

This story is for you if you are a syfy fan only
The adventure eventually got good and kept you engaged to know what was coming next. The unidentifiable character was A+ to me tho like the idea the author came up with acting needs 2b in a movie, like the whole storyline surrounding the character and all. However, the over all story was lacking and the ending was so so disappointing. Like why did the author take us through that journey only to end up ???? smh well you just gotta read it for yourself I guess but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
