Altar of Eden
by James Rollins
After a severe storm, Louisiana veterinarian, Lorna Polk, is asked to help identify a strange cargo. A ship washed up by the storm contains a pair of conjoined monkeys, a featherless parrot, a snake with leg stubs, and a jaguar cub with saber-tiger like teeth. How did the animals end up on this ship? Are the animals the result of birth defects or genetic manipulation? To solve this mystery Lorna is forced to work with Border Patrol Agent, Jack Menard. They share a dark secret from the past. Meanwhile back in the swamp a huge saber-tiger and her cub try to feed on a group of local boy scouts. Will Lorna and Jack be able to save them? Then Lorna is kidnapped by the men shipping the animals and taken to the tropical island of Eden. Jack mounts an unsanctioned rescue. On the island they learn the secret of the strange animals. They battle for their own survival and for the fantastic results of the genetic experiments!
