Jungle Lab Terror
Professor John Vincent is on a biological research expedition in the Darien Gap, the most dangerous place in the Western Hemisphere. The impenetrable jungle on the border of Colombia and Panama was once the haunt of drug dealers and guerrillas, but it has been quiet in recent years.
No one suspects the forces converging on them. While a Colombian revolutionary group is about to restart the drug war, a renegade scientist has established his base in the jungle. Shadowy agents from the French government are also in the area.
Hunting them all are hungry creatures brewed in the mad depths of a genetic lab.
Will anyone survive the Jungle Lab Terror?

Competently written book about a mad scientist who’s breeding all kinds of strange creatures at his hideout in the Darien Gap, a one-man army (initially) coming after him, a Colombian revolutionary group and a couple of scientists on a biological research expedition that end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It was also the wrong time for me. Or rather the wrong expectations. I was looking for a creature feature in a cool setting. However, too much of this takes place at Dr. Frankenstein’s lair, instead of the jungle. And for a creature feature there wasn’t enough action and/or suspense. The characters were not only dragon-, spider-, fishfodder (yes, fish) in this one. And with that in mind it would have really benefited from having a clear main protagonist.
2.5 stars, rounded down. At another time it would have likely ended up with a three instead of a two. But since Goodreads is forcing me to decide, and “it was okay” fits better than “I liked it” I’ll go with two here.
