內容簡介
Seven years later, Louisiana state veterinarian Lorna Polk investigates an abandoned shipwrecked fishing trawler carrying exotic caged animals, part of a black market smuggling ring. But there is something disturbingly wrong with these beasts—each an unsettling mutation of the natural order, all sharing one uncanny trait: incredibly heightened intelligence.
Joining forces with U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jack Menard—a man who shares with her a dark and bloody past—Lorna sets out to uncover the truth about this strange cargo and the terrorist threat it poses. Because a beast escaped the shipwreck and is running amok—and what is about to be born upon the altar of Eden could threaten not only the future of the world but the very foundation of what it means to be human.

媒體評論
"This latest James Rollins offering, a science-based thriller, brings his fans the fast-pace and violence they've come to expect. However, the performance of narrator Paula Christensen may not meet listeners' expectations as readily. The shortcoming is not with pace, intensity, or clarity, which are all appropriate to the text. The challenge arises with the characters as the action careens through many settings--from Baghdad to the Louisiana bayous. Christensen's rendering of the various required accents lacks authenticity and consistency, with the Cajun inflections being the most troublesome. Although this weakness may not prove enough of a distraction to spoil the audio experience for all, some listeners may find the print version of this book more enjoyable." --AudioFile
"Rollins is as sure-footed on new ground as he is in the familiar Sigma Force world." --Booklist
"Bestseller Rollins (Subterranean) explores the genetic engineering theme popularized by Jurassic Park, if less imaginatively than, say, Warren Fahy did in his 2009 debut, Fragment, in this solid stand-alone thriller. During the looting of the Baghdad zoo in the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, 12-year-old Makeen and his younger brother observe two men, one dressed in a khaki military uniform and the other in a dark suit, remove a large metal briefcase containing embryos from a secret facility at the zoo. About five years later, a U.S. Border Patrol helicopter lands at the New Orleans Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species to take Dr. Lorna Polk, a postgraduate resident, out over the Mississippi Delta to an abandoned trawler. In the boat Polk sees cages filled with bizarre creatures like Siamese twin capuchin monkeys and oversized vampire bats. The science mostly takes a backseat to generic suspense scenes of animal attacks, gunfights, and abduction." --Publishers Weekly
“最近的詹姆斯幾百萬祭,是科學的驚悚片,把他的球迷,他們已經快速和暴力來的期望。然而,克里斯騰森的表現可能不符合旁白波聽眾們期望那樣容易。缺點是不有速度,強度,或清晰度,這些都是合適的文本。挑戰一個亟待解決的問題careens人物為行動通過許多設定——從巴格達到路易斯安那州的bayous。克里斯騰森扮演的渲染的各種要求口音缺乏真實性和一致性,父母是最麻煩的風靡。儘管這一弱點可能不能證明足夠的分心,慣了音頻的經驗,為所有,一些聽眾會發現這本書的出版版本更愉快。"——AudioFile

“暢銷書(地下)探討了幾百萬的基因工程推廣《侏羅紀公園》的主題,如果不那么真實,沃倫·Fahy,比方說吧,比在他2009年首演了碎片,在這個堅實的獨立的驚險片。在搶劫巴格達動物園在早期的自由伊拉克軍事行動在2003年,12歲的Makeen和他的弟弟觀察兩種人,一種身著卡其布軍裝,另一個住在一套深色的西裝,移除一個大金屬公文包包含一個秘密設施胚胎在動物園。大約五年後,一個美國邊境巡邏直升機降落在紐奧良種豬的瀕危物種研究中心去洛波爾克博士、研究生的居民,在一個廢棄的密西西比三角洲著漁船。波爾克在船上看到籠子裡充滿了奇異的生物,如暹羅的雙胞胎僧帽猴的超大吸血鬼蝙蝠。科學主要打下鋪墊了懸疑的場景一般動物的攻擊,槍戰,和綁架。"
