Fragment
By Warren Fahy
They may not be as mammoth as the creatures of Isla Nublat, the
island setting of “Jurassic Park”, but the critters
that reside on Henders Island in the South Pacific are just as memorable
and lethal.
A fragment of a lost continent that has been hidden from view and
scrutiny for ages has been rediscovered by a team of scientists.
About to experience an ecosystem unlike any they have ever seen
before, the team of a long-range research vessel is about to have
the adventure of a lifetime.
As
they set about cataloguing a set of creatures unlike any ever recorded,
they must keep their wits about them, for what good is it to make
this awe-inspiring discovery if they don’t live long enough
to share it?
And,
if one of the team is correct and they have stumbled upon a “genetic
knob” that can be used to tweak and reset “the timer
of human life”, do they really wish to do so?
A
cautionary tale of the same ilk as Michael Crichton’s “Jurassic
Park”, Warren Fahy’s novel raises some serious issues
about genetic tampering and the serious, negative evolutionary consequences
it could have.
From
start to finish this captivating read will have you frantically
flipping pages as you follow the bizarre events that unfold on this
very remarkable and scary island.
