About this ebook
Paleontologist Cameron Malone has discovered a 500,000-year-old man. Renegade scientist Dr. Noel Anderson has plans for the ancient man. When Anderson steals tissue from the frozen corpse, he uses the DNA to create a modern Ancient Man. Now, Dr. Malone must stop this waking nightmare of genetic engineering.
"Paleontologist Malone discovers a 500,000-year-old man, only to have a rival scientist defile the find in his search for genetic material to implant in an unsuspecting woman. What grows from the ancient DNA is a twin horror so unpredictible and terrifying that it shakes modern science and those who try to control the new arrivals." -- Midwest Book Review

About the author
National bestselling author Charles Wilson has become known for edge-of-your-seat tension and fast-paced action in his novels. His first work, Nightwatcher, a psychological thriller, was called "splendid" by John Grisham and "quite an achievement" by the Los Angeles Times. Ed Gorman, publisher of Mystery Scenemagazine says, "Wilson might flat-out be the best plotter of our generation." Wilson's Direct Descendant andExtinct, novels exploring the chilling consequences of so-called scientific advances, have been optioned by Hollywood filmmakers. Other Wilson novels are Game Plan, Fertile Ground and Embryo; three suspense novels, When First We Deceive, Silent Witness and The Cassandra Prophecy; and Deep Sleep -- a psychological thriller set in a Voodoo-influenced swampy parish in South Louisiana. Charles Wilson currently lives with his wife and three children in Brandon, Mississippi.
