Synopsis
For fans of Michael Crichton and A.G. Riddle. The Genesis. The great mystery of how a planet full of water and molten rock spawned life. The answer might be more terrifying than we thought ... In Hong Kong a young scientist stumbles upon a strange new species of rat—one that defies the rules of evolution. It's not a product of chance, but something far more sinister. Thousands of miles away in Denmark, a mysterious organism spreads like a fungus, infiltrating ecosystems and baffling researchers. As a team of scientists races to contain it, they uncover patterns that shouldn't exist in nature. Soon, people begin to die. As the international investigations converge, a chilling truth begins to surface —the entity they're dealing with may be the very force that once sparked life on Earth … now returning to end it. Join a cast of scientists in a global hunt for a terrible truth in the new SciFi adventure from the author of ICE, POLARIS and the acclaimed THE ANCIENT SECRETS series.
