After a recently uncovered virus desolates the Serengeti, current game warden and former Australian Special Forces soldier, Logan Reed, is asked to travel west to the Congo and investigate its origin.

Haunted by horrific nightmares filled with sorrow and death, Logan leads what's left of his elite anti-poaching outfit, the Serengeti Defense Force. With the help of the American military and a local guide, the remaining SDF members are starting to feel semi-ready for what's to come. That is…until they reach their objective.

For within the unexplored jungle is something modern man wasn't meant to find, and if it's up to the Verbraucher—the Eaters—it'll stay that way. Plus, they aren’t the only things lurking in the shadows that want to stay unfound.

Wow

The action is non stop. Logan and his friends are exploring caves and jungle. Everything around us trying to kill them and eat them.

Looking forward to more of his adventures.

Another great book

I chose the five star rating for the exception story telling, I liked how the author stepping out of his box and went into a different direction than usual. I encourage everyone who likes action adventure and a little sci fi thrown in to read his novels.

Another great read!

Thrilling, adventures, mythology, twists, and turns, even a love interest for Logan in this one! A truly fun to read series that keeps evolving (horrible pun intended). I cannot wait for the next installment!

Wow, I thought the first book was good, but this one surpasses it. Logan and the crew go through a Hell of a lot. Extremely surprising, but what a twist! Do hope there will be a Book 3.

I like this thriller, but not as much as I did the first one. Hard to pin-point why. Maybe the choice of monsters. Almost read like a lost Tarzan tales, deep into the heart of Africa. Plenty of action to be sure. Guess I just liked the Nazis zombie creatures of the first Logan Reed thriller.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed Plague and was pretty excited to get into Evolve, and Matthew James did not disappoint me! This was a fast paced book with TONS of action. As the action moved through the jungle, many mysterious creatures were discovered and it kept the unexpected twists coming often. I loved this book and can't wait for the next one!

The amazing story of Logan and troops that thrillingly began in book 1 where the horrible virus in the Serengeti turned men and creatures into monsters was only the beginning of a very exciting story.This continuation ramps up the thrills,chills and excitement that leave the reader wanting more.
I was given this advanced reader's copy for an honest review.

A TALE OF NAZIS CHASING OTHERWORLDLY POWERS AGAIN IT IS...

Hello, the story definitely took a turn I wasn't expecting. Good stuff, but I would have liked a little more background information. Thanks.

Light, enjoyable reading which needs a good editor (spotted at least 10 typos, which detracted slightly from the enjoyment of the story).
Also pays shameless homage to Jeremy Robinson, which was fun to spot.

Thrilling book

I read the first book of this series after seeing a recommendation on goodreads. I hadn't heard or tried any of Matthew James's books before, but now admit I am a fan of his style of writing. The series centres around Logan Reed his family and friends and his life as the warden of the Serengeti national park, but with an unexpected twist. The books are a must read for everyone liking a bit of sci-fi and mysterious story lines. Each chapter is a definite page turning experience leaving the reader gasping for more. I'm desperately waiting for book 3 in this series to find out what happens next in the life of Logan Reed and his extended family . Well done Matthew James..
