The characters were cardboard cutouts, the plot was obviously manipulated, the scenarios were so unlikely.the story was more like a series of explosions and gunfights loosely linked together until it finally expired. WHY are people rating this book so highly? Or descendent? Relative? I don't know.īasically, i just want to know what happen next the mark of a good story. Older kids, what if someone found out or knew about the kids? Maybe someone involved in the experiments wasn’t on the island. Jack and Lorna would have been married for about that long. It would be, a couple generations of the kids. Jack and Lorna keep the kids a secret, but how long can they keep it that way? I'd like to see a sequel that takes place in 20 years or so. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but just a bit. The adult experiments choose to take out the bad guys and stay on the island. Lorna and Jack escape the island with the children. Yeah, they don't get the idea that they caused the violence.Īll’s well that ends well. The idea is that by isolating them they are keeping them pure and non-violent. I think most parents would be fairly pissed. Add to that, they kidnapped the children and keep them separated, physically and psychically. They end up torturing their subjects to the point of psychotic break. On the island are humanoid people who are similarly networked together. So, investigation this leads to an island. The animals they find are enhanced in such a way that being together increases their brain function, making them smarter than your average animals.

One of my favourite things about Rollins is the way his stories take facts and combine and twist them to make such interesting adventures. While the interactions between Jack and Lorna are great, what i like best is the actual progression of the mystery. They’ve kept the secret of what really happened all these years. Without understanding the whole situation, he told her to drive. See, Lorna was being attacked while the brother was passed out, Jack busted in and saved her. Over the course of the book, we find out that brother died and Lorna was blamed, but Jack was party to the car accident that killed his brother too.

They grew up together, she and his younger brother were high school sweethearts. Well, Jack finds a ship full of strange animals and calls in Lorna. Jack is a border patrol agent, and Lorna is a veterinarian. Though, i could totally see Sigma wanting to snap these two up. The character are interesting but they don't take over.There’s a good balance between the story and the actors in it. Anyway, the point is, this was like old school Rollins. I'm a fan of Rollins, particularly his Sigma series. Very entertaining adventure/mystery about scientific experimentation with animal and the results.
