Why read it?

1 author picked River Of Death as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

River of Death is the 8th novel in Russell James' Grant Coleman Adventures series, and it has the same fun yet action-packed style as the others. Think Indiana Jones but with more humor. Coleman is a reluctant participant in these life-threatening escapades yet somehow manages to extricate himself and resolve the problems, which often involve prehistoric beasts or weird mutations of nature.

These books are not only entertaining, they're a welcome break from all the slasher content that seems to fill the horror genre these days.
