Minutes to Burn

ebook
E-book extra: "Mission to Darwin's Backyard," an interview with Gregg Andrew Hurwitz.

In the tradition of The Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park, an exhilarating new scientific thriller involving an ecological disaster and an evolutionary nightmare.

In the year 2007 the world is not what it was...

Powerful earthquakes and hurricanes have left most of South America in ruins--and solar rays pouring down through holes in the depleted ozone layer can burn human flesh to a crisp in minutes. An impending global eco-catastrophe has brought a crack scientific team to a desolate island in the Galápaos -- along with a ragtag squad of U.S. Navy SEALs entrusted with their protection -- to position critical seismic equipment before the next wave of earthquakes hits. But there is something waiting for them all in the jungles of Sangre de Dios. A scientific phenomenon the likes of which has never been seen has evolved in the devastating heat of a killing sun. And with the world's future hanging in the balance, a desperate search for answers has suddenly turned into a terrifying war for survival--transforming scientists and soldiers alike into something they never dreamed possible: *prey*.
