“Fast, fun thriller about genetic engineering gone wrong. I like James Rollins, but especially like that this thriller can be read independently, whether you've read any of his other books or not. Interesting science explained in a way that's easy to follow, with cool mutated animals and sympathetic human heroes. Rollins is a veterinarian, and has created a main character who happens to be a vet. Most of the book is set in New Orleans, and the character of the swamp is lovingly described, making a great backdrop for suspense and eerieness.”
