Synopsis

Mark Hawkins, former park ranger and expert tracker, is out of his element, working onboard the Magellan, a research vessel studying the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But his work is interrupted when, surrounded by thirty miles of refuse, the ship and its high-tech systems are plagued by a series of strange malfunctions and the crew is battered by a raging storm.When the storm fades and the sun rises, the beaten crew awakens to find themselves anchored in the protective cove of a tropical island…and no one knows how they got there. Even worse, the ship has been sabotaged, two crewmen are dead, and a third is missing. Hawkins spots signs of the missing man onshore and leads a small team to bring him back. But they quickly discover evidence of a brutal history left behind by the island’s former occupants: Unit 731, Japan’s ruthless World War II human experimentation program. Mass graves and military fortifications dot the island, along with a decades-old laboratory housing the remains of hideous experiments.As more crew members start to disappear, Hawkins realizes that they are not alone. In fact, he suspects they were brought  to this strange and horrible island. The crew is taken one by one, and while Hawkins fights to save his friends, he learns the horrible truths: Island 731 was never decommissioned and the person taking his crewmates may not be a person at all—not anymore.

Jurassic Park style madness, but replace the dinos with horrific mutants and spread a thick layer of WWII biogenetic experimentation in there. It's a tasty recipe. Robinson's imagination is scrumtrulescent!......more

Are you a fan of crazy conspiracy theories? Do you enjoy reading about secret experiments carried out by various governments? Then you should probably get your hands on this book because crazy conspiracy theories and experiments are what it's all about. It's not often that I read adult fiction,......more

Goodreads review by Robert on August 04, 2013

This book could be called "Lost Meets Aliens"; all it needs is S. Weaver in the role of Joliet and Matthew Fox as the hero. The genetics is silly, the physics are impossible, and the characters are a little over the top. There's a nice family scene near the end of the book, kind of heartwarming in a......more
