Lost World - Lost Souls Deep in the jungled hell of Big Tamtung, a
forgotten island in the South China Seas, a miraculous ancient
substance is found that will unlock the secrets of life on Earth--
Prima Materia, a fabled material that has been whispered about
since Biblical times. Two centuries before, Charles Darwin
discovered the last pool of Prima Materia on Big Tamtung but his
discovery was suppressed by The School of Night, a secret society
of scholars founded by Sir Walter Raleigh. Now, when a small group
of scientists and fortune hunters explore the jungles of Big
Tamtung, they must endure frightening tests of their ingenuity and
courage, as they struggle against ancient terrors--a lost world of
dinosaurs and a miracle older than time. With a non-human language
spoken by Biblical patriarchs and coded secrets scribbled in the
suppressed log of Darwin as their only clues, "Tombstone" Jack
Kavanaugh and his partner, Augustus Crowe, discover secrets linking
Prima Materia to the hidden history of humanity. Kavanaugh and
Crowe lead a pair of cynical scientists and the notorious Madame
Bai Suzhen through the seething cauldron of a bizarre
ecosystem--the remnant of an Earth that was and might be again.
Pursued by a crew of bloodthirsty Triad assassins and frighteningly
intelligent monsters spawned by a twisted evolution, Kavanaugh and
Crowe are no longer interested in seeking a fortune, but merely in
staying alive. Deep in the broiling jungle, amid ruins half as old
as time, they plunge into the heart of humanity's greatest
mystery--and to a violent confrontation with a misshapen madman who
lusts after a miracle but will settle for murder. Lavishly
illustrated by Jeff Slemons. Cryptozoica...where the past has not
stopped breathing "CRYPTOZOICA is a novel for those who really want
to sink their teeth into something engrossing to the finish. For a
modern take on pulp adventure, you would be hard-pressed to find
one that delivers like this. -Bruce Grossman, Bookgasm
