Savage Helix: A Prehistoric Thriller

by Jonah Buck

Some secrets should stay extinct.

Months after a catastrophic disaster forced RexNetics to abandon their high-security island facility, a heavily armed recovery team returns to retrieve the company’s most valuable and dangerous priceless dinosaur DNA.
But the compound has become a nightmare. The fences are down, the prehistoric predators have overrun the facility, and the fastest, most ruthless killing machines have risen to the top of the island’s food chain. Now, the jungle, and its secrets, belong to them.

What began as a retrieval mission spirals into a brutal fight for survival, where every step could be your last.

this was a fun read and a wee bit bonkers. it's like a more violent Jurassic Park. I would absolutely watch this as a movie! it does plop you right in the middle of the story. I had to check to see if this was a part of a series and it doesn't appear to be! fun read.

Billionaire creates dinosaur island. Descriptions of final moments of death seem particularly pointless.
