A fast moving thriller based partly on science and speculation but with lots of police work thrown in for good measure.

“That’s the problem with science,” said Cash. “If something can be done, it will be done—no matter how dangerous.”
Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐️’s
Thoroughly riveting, immensely fascinating, and absolutely terrifying in the most real way possible.
Wow.
I made sure not to read the synopsis before going into this novel because the concept was interesting enough for me and I wanted to be surprised (I love anything to do with prehistory, so I didn’t need much convincing

I wanted this to be better than it was. The concept was great, the execution was a flop. I didn’t like the way Douglas Preston described characters and situations. The putting down of Jurassic Park when that was clearly his inspiration left a bad taste in my mouth. The blatant sexism was also obnoxious.
