Baghdad falls . . . and armed men are seen looting the city zoo.
Amid a hail of bullets, a concealed underground lab is
ransacked--and something horrific is set loose upon the world.
Seven years later, Louisiana state veterinarian Lorna Polk
investigates an abandoned shipwrecked fishing trawler carrying
exotic caged animals, part of a black market smuggling ring. But
there is something disturbingly wrong with these beasts--each an
unsettling mutation of the natural order, all sharing one uncanny
trait: incredibly heightened intelligence.
Joining forces with U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jack Menard--a man
who shares with her a dark and bloody past--Lorna sets out to
uncover the truth about this strange cargo and the terrorist threat
it poses. Because a beast escaped the shipwreck and is running
amok--and what is about to be born upon the altar of Eden could
threaten not only the future of the world but the very foundation
of what it means to be human.
