I remember reading this when I was younger and being coompletely immersed in the narrative

and then afterwards attempting vainly to maintain killer apes who beat people to death with big sticks in a manner not unlike Jurrassic Park's Raptors made complete sense.

Its a flimsy technothriller in the jungle. Just have fun with the adventure while it lasts

But it's not completely inconceivable that a previously unknown species of ape, that happens to be protecting a lost city where a fortunes worth of diamond fields is located, gets destroyed by a volcanic explosion

I only have a faint memory of Congo. Only really remember apes with sticks over-running sentry gun perimeters like trained commandos

that does happen, but afterwards the team finds the lost city, with the help of ape that does sign language, and finds a bunch of diamonds. But before they can get the diamonds the place explodes because of a volcanic eruption and the team manages to escape
