It started out well, with an interesting mock essay on the historic cycle of new species introduced into an environment that can take over, decimate the existing flora or fauna, and change that environment forever. Then we're given a delicious little episode of a ship's crew being attacked by some m...

The premise of Warren Fahy's novel is not especially original: far out in the south Pacific, an island is discovered that harbors strange and unique forms of life. Cut off from virtually all biological contact with the outside world, what evolved was the most lethal ecosystem on the planet, where e...

If you have a bend towards biology and odd life forms, this book was an action feast of what isolated evolution might produce over a few million years. I absolutely loved the flora and fauna the author came up with. The deadly and weird collided with pincers and shells and toxins on Hender’s Ilse. W...

Warren Fahy takes us on a ride based on one question....what if there was somewhere in the world totally isolated from everything else for millions of years? What kind of life could we expect there? Would the path of evolution have been different and what would that look like? Alright, so it was ...

It's kind of a cross between Jurassic Park - you know where eminent scientists go to the island and find prehistoric animals that try to kill them - and Aliens where viscously bizarre creatures kill them left and right. Well this book follows a...

The main character joins because she always hypothesized the existence of an island completely isolated from the rest of the world. She wants to study...

I have always enjoyed books with strange phenomenons, odd animals that make ye wonder, mysteries and such.. so when I saw this book I knew it was a must have. I bought it and read it. This is a author to check out later.The book begins with the introduction of several characters, giving us too much ...

The writing was compelling, but the characters are rather two-dimensional, and the "villain" is completely over the top. I also found it rather hard to suspend my disbelief that a 2 mile square ecosystem composed of virtually nothing but predators would be able to survive. However, the last 75 pages...

Where to begin. First of all, I'm so glad I got this for free. Second, I'm now wondering if the publisher waited for Michael Crichton to die before calling this Jurassic Park-like because that is just flat-out blasphemy. JP was a lightning-in-a-bottle masterpiece (you can tell because Crichton's att...

A distress call leads the crew to unexplored Henders Island, where they encounter a host of terrifying new organisms.As a biologist (well, biology grad student) , I was intrigued by the de...
