Synopsis

TROG 1970 From the depths of prehistory... a nightmare awakes! In the quiet English countryside, a discovery is about to shatter the scientific world and unleash primal terror upon an unsuspecting town. When brilliant scientist Dr. Brockton uncovers a living troglodyte—a primitive caveman from the Ice Age—preserved in the deep caves beneath rural England, she believes she's found the evolutionary missing link. With unprecedented ambition, she attempts to bring the creature to the surface, study it, and perhaps even domesticate this million-year-old relic of humanity's savage past. But not everyone shares her scientific curiosity. Sam Murdock, a powerful local businessman fearing commercial disaster, becomes determined to destroy the creature—even if it means unleashing catastrophe upon the community. When Trog is freed from captivity, primal instinct takes over, and the sleepy English town becomes a hunting ground for a predator time forgot. "From the boiling rages of a world hurled back one million years comes... Trog" Based on the cult classic 1970 British science fiction horror film that starred Hollywood legend Joan Crawford in her final screen role, Brett Gilliland's novelization expands this tale of scientific hubris and prehistoric terror for a new generation. TROG 1970 explores the thin line between human progress and our most primitive instincts, and asks: What happens when evolution's darkest chapter refuses to stay buried? The past isn't dead. It's alive... and hungry.
