Brace yourself for non-stop action in this novel that is best described as Jurassic Park with dragons. International bestseller Matthew Reilly, who is renowned for his action and adventure novels, claims Jurassic Park is his favourite novel of all time, but he hasn’t just retold that story and replaced the dinosaurs with dragons.
People will draw comparisons, but there are many differences between the two. The book starts with plenty of scene setting, allowing us to get a feel for the characters, the political climate, and the environment in which the novel is set. The Chinese are about to unveil a secret 40 years in the making. They have managed to create a zoo filled with dragons. Invited on a press trip to write about this new attraction, our female protagonist, Dr Cassandra Jane Cameron, a writer for National Geographic and reptile expert, is about to embark on a fight for survival of epic proportions. Fast and furious, once the story gets going, this is a must read for fans of Matthew Reilly and the action genre.
