I was unexpectedly taken by this original creature feature story, which would do well made into a film.
The New Zealand/Maori setting and culture added a nice authenticity to the plot which roared through jungle territory, under the guise of a government expedition but ended with more than they bargained for.
A dash of mysticism, in the form of Temera, explained things that the story itself could not and the character of Taine was likeable and well described.
The supporting characters were strong and again likeable, my favourite being Trigger, who was tough as nails and the plot was fast paced and solid, very enjoyable.
Highly recommended.
