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. 中文简介七年之后,路易斯安娜州大学兽医波尔克萝娜艘渔船遇难调查一个废弃携带外来动物关在笼子里的一部分,一个黑市走私集团。但是有一些令人不安的是错误的一个令人不安的突变与这些beasts-each自然秩序的,分享了一个离奇的特点:难以置信的高度智慧。 联合美国边境巡逻的人Menard-a股票经纪人杰克和她的一个黑暗和血腥的past-Lorna出发,揭示真相奇怪的货物和恐怖分子的威胁它的姿势。因为一个野兽逃过了海难,跑什么amok-and落地的祭坛上不仅会威胁到伊甸园的未来世界,但非常基础生为人类的意义。 作者简介James Rollins and Jake Ransom share many of the same passions.

An amateur spelunker and a certified scuba enthusiast, he'll often be found either underground or underwater. 詹姆斯几百万赎金的许多和杰克分享相同的激情。作者考古的兴趣使他自己的柜子的新奇的聚集,包括一个100000岁的猛犸象牙来自中国。 他的《纽约时报》的畅销书包括最后神谕,犹大应变、黑秩序。雅各住在萨克拉曼多,加州。业余,以及一份核证spelunker潜水爱好者,他经常会被发现或地下或者水下。 媒体评论"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 “最近的詹姆斯几百万祭,是科学的惊悚片,把他的球迷,他们已经快速和暴力来的期望。然而,克里斯腾森的表现可能不符合旁白波听众们期望那样容易。缺点是不有速度,强度,或清晰度,这些都是合适的文本。挑战一个亟待解决的问题careens人物为行动通过许多设置——从巴格达到路易斯安那州的bayous。克里斯腾森扮演的渲染的各种要求口音缺乏真实性和一致性,父母是最麻烦的风靡。尽管这一弱点可能不能证明足够的分心,惯了音频的经验,为所有,一些听众会发现这本书的出版版本更愉快。"——AudioFile “是sure-footed几百万在新球场他熟悉的西格玛力量的世界。适合国小中年级儿童阅读 “畅销书(地下)探讨了几百万的基因工程推广《侏罗纪公园》的主题,如果不那么真实,沃伦·Fahy,比方说吧,比在他2009年首演了碎片,在这个坚实的独立的惊险片。在抢劫巴格达动物园在早期的自由伊拉克军事行动在2003年,12岁的Makeen和他的弟弟观察两种人,一种身着卡其布军装,另一个住在一套深色的西装,移除一个大金属公文包包含一个秘密设施胚胎在动物园。大约五年后,一个美国边境巡逻直升机降落在新奥尔良种猪的濒危物种研究中心去洛波尔克博士、研究生的居民,在一个废弃的密西西比三角洲着渔船。波尔克在船上看到笼子里充满了奇异的生物,如暹罗的双胞胎僧帽猴的超大吸血鬼蝙蝠。科学主要打下铺垫了悬疑的场景一般动物的攻击,枪战,和绑架。" ——《出版人周刊》 |
