Summary

An accomplished geneticist, known for trailblazing work with a gene editing technology known as CRISPR, is found dead at his desk in his South Florida home by apparent suicide. His jugular vein punctured with a foot-long T-rex claw. However, the claw is not a fossilized one. A simple note signed by the scientist reads, “I’m sorry”.

A team of researchers and park rangers is hastily and quietly assembled to find out what it is he’s apologized for, suspecting he has unleashed a genetically altered animal atrocity into the wild. Unsure of exactly what to look for, the expedition sets out into the Everglades in a desperate search of what they fear might be a living predator not seen on Earth for millions of years.

What they find is even worse - The entire Everglades has been transformed into an illicit breeding ground for the living, breathing results of unauthorized genetic tampering with extinct predators.

Will the harried band of park rangers and scientists be able to contain the most outlandish bio-threat the world has ever seen? Or will the terrifying genetic edits made by the rogue scientist prove too ferocious to contain?

Terrible!

Too many plot holes and inaccuracies. Creatures described as one thing for half the story and then called something else for the rest. Monster centipedes become monster carnivorous millipedes. Calls another pterobirds and changes to pteroavians.
It reads like different chapters where written at different times without linking back to facts already written. For example a dead ranger comes back to life when describing how many survivors are left.
Also very frustrating when it describes a charging creature 10 ft away and then the characters have a two minute chat and the creature is then only 5ft away. So so bad. I tried to get through it but had to give up.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
