“MOUNT DRAGON IS AS MARVELOUSLY COMPLEX
AS ANY THRILLER I’VE EVER READ. ...
IT IS NOTHING LESS THAN A TOUR DE FORCE!”
—Stuart Woods, author of Choke
“A delightfully gruesome yarn and an apt mirror of our love-hate relationship with science.”
—Business Week

Guy Carson and Susana Cabeza de Vaca have come to Mount Dragon to work shoulder to shoulder with some of the greatest scientific minds on the planet. Led by visionary genius Brent Scopes, their secret goal is a medical breakthrough that promises to bring incalculable benefits to the human race. But while Scopes believes he is leading the way to a new world order, he may in fact be opening the door to mass human extinction. And when Guy and Susana attempt to stop him they find themselves locked in a frightening battle with Scopes, his henchmen, and the apocalyptic nightmare that science has unleashed. ...
“The writing team that scared the willies out of readers with The Relic returns with a second, equally gripping novel of techno-terror. ... It’s a grand and scary story, with just enough grisly detail to stimulate real-life fears and characters full enough to engage the attention.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Dynamic duo Preston and Child once again demonstrate their mastery of the genre. ... The thrillfest runs full force to the very last page.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Read this and you’ll be panting for Preston and Child’s next yarn.”
