Description

In a groundbreaking twist on the scientific marvel of cloning, a group of experts finds themselves drawn into a dangerous world where dinosaurs have been brought back to life. The ambitious vision of an eccentric billionaire leads to the creation of a theme park featuring these magnificent creatures, but when nature takes its course, chaos erupts. Tension mounts as the once-impressive technology falters, leaving humans to confront the primal instincts of creatures long thought extinct.

As excitement turns to terror, the characters face not only the formidable beasts but also their own moral dilemmas surrounding ethics and humanity's relationship with nature. The story unfolds with suspenseful twists and thought-provoking insights into the consequences of playing God, pulling readers into an unforgettable cinematic experience that challenges perceptions of progress and the unpredictability of life itself.

Reviews

A solid and fast-paced read. The science and tension both hit hard, and it holds up well even with what we now know. Hammond was an absolute lunatic — I can’t imagine having that little concern for others, especially his own family. Some of the science is clearly dated now (the DNA recovery, frog gene stuff, and dinosaur behavior), but that doesn’t take away from how well the story works as a warning about human arrogance and control. Still a great ride.
