The Great Zoo of China

Suspense | Thriller

For the past 40 years, the Chinese government has been secretly working on an innovative zoo in Guangdong Province to showcase a new creature they discovered in a deep underground cave. Prior to the grand opening of the Great Zoo of China, Chinese officials have invited a group of VIP Americans -- including a U.S. ambassador to China, a New York journalist, veterinarian/herpetologist expert Dr. CJ Cameron and her photographer brother -- to preview the spectacular legendary creatures in their unique surroundings.

Even though highly sophisticated protective measures are in place for everyone's safety from the beasts, it soon becomes apparent the highly intelligent creatures have their own agenda concerning the zoo and its visitors. What was to be an entertaining, wondrous adventure turns into a horrific nightmare. With the situation spiraling into total chaos, the fate of the humans -- as well as the beasts -- is in turmoil. Using her cunning knowledge and strong survival instincts, CJ plays an important role in the eventual outcome of the dreadful situation.

International bestselling author Matthew Reilly takes readers on a breathtaking and imaginative adventure in the brilliantly written THE GREAT ZOO OF CHINA. With its fast-paced, nail-biting plotline, THE GREAT ZOO OF CHINA is an innovative thriller with impressive characterization. Once I started reading this unique novel, it was impossible to put down.
