About this ebook
Aboard a long-range research vessel, in the vast reaches of the South Pacific, the cast and crew of the reality show Sealife believe they have found a ratings bonanza. For a director dying for drama, a distress call from Henders Island—a mere blip on any radar—might be just the ticket. Until the first scientist sets foot on Henders—and the ultimate test of survival begins.
For when they reach the island’s shores, the scientists are utterly unprepared for what they find—creatures unlike any ever recorded in natural history. This is not a lost world frozen in time; this is Earth as it might have looked after evolving on a separate path for half a billion years—a fragment of a lost continent, with an ecosystem that could topple ours like a house of cards.

An amazing book that you don't want to put down once it gets going. Well handled and explained with only a few issues. And to add to the horror element, there's a real sea mount roughly matching the shape of Henders Island very close to the coordinates given. Have fun with that information.

One of the best books I have ever read, it captured my imagination like nothing else I have ever read and I literally could not put it down. My current favorite book!

My absolute favorite ever! This book is a biologist's dream come true. They were not kidding when they called this book Jurassic Park on steroids.
