Publisher Description

The New York Times bestselling author combines medical sciences and action-packed suspense in this stunningly original thriller What if the military's foot soldiers were not our sons and daughters, but genetically engineered animals programmed to kill, with superhuman strength and speed and just enough intelligence to follow orders blindly? This is exactly the weapon that a top-secret government agency is developing in the desert. Attorney Herman Strockmire, a rumpled man with a very big but defective heart, is a champion of lost legal causes who becomes involved when his employee is literally torn limb from limb by one of the creatures. At great personal risk, Herman, his beautiful daughter and law partner, Susan, and ex-LAPD detective Jack Wirta, plunge headlong into harm's way, finding themselves in a nightmare beyond anyone's wildest imagination.

    " Cartoon-caption writing disguised as a novel. Maybe it got better after 20 pages - I wouldn't know, as I couldn't cope with any more than that. It was a struggle to knock over that many. Would have been impressive if it was a primary school essay, rather than a published book. "

    " The author has tightened up his writing a lot in the 4 years since this book was published. Interesting take on the Evilness of DARPA. "
