Natural Selection by Dave Freedman is an enjoyable read, with an interesting premise involving a manta ray species that has evolved to be the nastiest creature alive. The author keeps the pace tense by first their appearance and second by their deadly capabilities that are slowly discovered by a team of scientists hired to document them for the man financing their operations. The author’s ability to convey the creature’s intentions, thought patterns, and responses to stimuli are well executed placing him strongly in a set of science fiction writers that use animal behaviorology and Evolution as a novel premise.
