Fragment Fragment

От издателя

Aboard a long-range research vessel, in the vast reaches of the South Pacific, the cast and crew of the reality show Sealife believe they have found a ratings bonanza. For a director dying for drama, a distress call from Henders Island—a mere blip on any radar—might be just the ticket. Until the first scientist sets foot on Henders—and the ultimate test of survival begins.

For when they reach the island’s shores, the scientists are utterly unprepared for what they find—creatures unlike any ever recorded in natural history. This is not a lost world frozen in time; this is Earth as it might have looked after evolving on a separate path for half a billion yearsa fragment of a lost continent, with an ecosystem that could topple ours like a house of cards.

Hender’s Island—Not Just A Place

On the whole, Fragment is a fairly entertaining read, but I believe it is fair to say that the people are the weakest part of the story. No, in a surprising twist, the greatest character of them all is Hender’s Island itself.

The most horrifically lethal and rapacious ecosystem I’ve ever read about is described in such vivid terms and described in such exquisite detail—readers will have no trouble imagining the never-ending orgy of nightmarish violence.

A band of scientists and cameramen took a peek into a world so utterly alien yet still terrestrial in origin, and I, the reader, was left feeling the same awe and terror that they did.

Yeah, I’d recommend it.
