About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their teenager is starting to ask big questions about the ethics of technology, the limits of human control, or the unintended consequences of 'playing god.' It is a sophisticated thriller that balances pulse-pounding action with deep philosophical inquiries into chaos theory and genetic engineering. While it features the awe of prehistoric creatures, it primarily serves as a cautionary tale about how pride and corporate greed can lead to catastrophe. Because of its intense sequences of peril and graphic descriptions, it is best suited for mature middle schoolers or high school students who enjoy intellectual puzzles alongside their adventure stories. It offers a perfect bridge for discussing how science should be used responsibly in the modern world.
