65 million years ago the dinosaurs vanished off the face of the earth. Now it's our turn . . .
The change began silently, imperceptibly, inexorably. First came the sudden, horrific parasitic infestations. Then the insects started to die. And the birds. One natural event toppling into the next - a biological domino effect rippling across the globe.
Maverick palaeobiologist Richard Sinclair is one of the first to suspect the truth: that these apparently random episodes are symptoms of an unstoppable, irreversible chain reaction - that Mother Nature has begun to take terrible and bloody revenge on human kind.
As the old world order collapses and reactionary fringes crawl out of the chaos to feed on fear and welcome Armageddon, Sinclair and a small group of dedicated, like-minded scientists confront the unthinkable and embark on the ultimate race against time. The very survival of our species depends on their finding an answer, and soon - for all else is dust.
Combining thrilling, edge-of-the-seat storytelling and cutting-edge research, Charles Pellegrino - whose dinosaur cloning theory provided the scientific basis for 'Jurassic Park' - has written a devastating novel of an apocalyptic future that could be waiting for us all . . .
