About this ebook
A Novel of Terror
Sixty-six million years ago, they were erased. Now, one man's ambition is about to bring them back.
When billionaire visionary Marcus Holt unveils his masterpiece — a remote Pacific island populated with genetically reconstructed dinosaurs — the world stands on the brink of the most extraordinary scientific achievement in human history. Isla Sombra's Genesis Preserve promises an experience unlike anything ever conceived: living, breathing tyrannosaurs, herds of hadrosaurs, and a pack of razor-intelligent raptors prowling primeval jungle behind the most sophisticated containment systems ever built.
But the scientists who made it possible know what Holt does not want to hear. Dr. Elena Vasquez, the world's foremost expert in deep-time genetic reconstruction, has built her animals from sixty-six-million-year-old fragments — and she cannot fully predict what she has made. Dr. Claire Odum, brought in to study large predator behaviour, watches the raptor pack with mounting dread: six weeks old, and they already run coordinated hunts, test fence weak points with systematic intelligence, and communicate in low, rapid chirps that sound unsettlingly like language.
When thirty-two guests arrive for the soft opening — investors, officials, one carefully chosen journalist, and Holt's teenage son — the island is holding its breath. The containment is state-of-the-art. The protocols are comprehensive. The science is as close to perfect as anyone has ever achieved.
None of it will be enough.
The Genesis Preserve is a propulsive, scientifically grounded thriller that asks the oldest question in the oldest way: not whether we can — but what happens when we do.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton — bracing, intelligent, and impossible to put down.
