Reviewed by Heidi

    This thrilling books weaves together real science with a fictional tale about what happens when some genetically altered animals are found in an illegal fishing trolley off the Louisiana coast.  Dr. Lorna Polk, state veterinarian, is called on by Agent Jack Menard of U.S. Border Patrol to find out what is wrong with the animals and, most importantly, what kind of animal escaped.  The answer to that question sends both teams into a panic as they try to locate the escaped monster and answer the bigger question of who would do this and, more importantly, why.

    This book covers themes including gene editing, for profit research, and of course it includes a little bit of romance.

    If you like mind-bending books about the intersection of history, science, and religion formatted as action novels, James Rollins is the author for you.
