| NOTES: |
Umber runs as she has never run before. Her lungs are heaving, her legs shaking, as she sprints onto the bridge approach. There, on the opposite shore, three apes stand around Brett. Umber throws her head back and screams. The apes turn. The ape behind Brett slaps her hard, sending her staggering, and Umber squeals in terror, jerks her bow from her shoulder, and climbs hand over hand to the top of the bridge. Holding the bow on her shaking knees, she nocks an arrow and lets it fly. Their quest leads to a SAC facility in Africa, where they discover a covert genetics lab, crude buildings decorated with skulls…and human corpses, savagely hacked to pieces. A project to genetically "augment" apes has worked too well-and gone hideously wrong. Now Jim, Brett, and Umber are trapped in the jungle, hunted by beings who are brutally aggressive, brilliantly inventive, and far stronger than any human. And like humans they can be utterly, and murderously, psychotic. |
