Creating new creatures has long been a sci-fi favorite. Sometimes it doesn’t work. This time it does.
Alabaster Stone, Sr has placed a research facility on a remote island. He has a loyal staff who were both hired and created. Some of the creatures are helpful and hard to distinguish from human beings. Some of the creatures don’t like their captivity, no matter how species appropriate their environments are.
Stone’s son, Junior, is on the island to oversee the research. His wife, Mika, is one of the researchers, as well as Dr Drake and grad student, Mars.
Junior hates the research and thinks of the creatures as abominations. Olson, the head of security, agrees with him.
Put them together in a closed environment, where one side has weapons and the other side has creatures with claws, fangs and attitude, is a recipe for disaster. When the explosion comes, it is spectacular.
It seems to me that the author has presented the arguments for both sides fairly. Thinking that one side or the other is right is probably based on the viewpoint of the reader.
All in all, a very readable book.
