In this stand-alone thriller by the bestselling author of The Judas Strain, Dr Lorna Polk must risk everything – including the life of her unborn child – to expose horrors that date back to Biblical times.
March 19, 2003: The Baghdad Zoo lies in ruins; hundreds of animals have been stolen. And, under the cover of darkness, rare embryos from its bioweapons research facility disappear, along with the chief scientist.
Present day: Dr Polk, a veterinarian, stumbles upon a ship filled with monstrous genetically modified animals, all with unnatural intelligence. Working with U.S. Marshall Jack Menard, she learns that this modern mystery may have an ancient connection: the Bible’s Book of Genesis.
