Quick Summary
A secret lab hidden deep in a murky swamp has engineered colossal predators, and now they are on the loose in this pulse-pounding adventure that mixes science fiction horror with survival thriller. Young readers will devour every page as characters race through snake-filled marshes, outsmart terrifying creatures, and try to stop the experiment before it spreads beyond the swamp.
