The Find of the Century . . . Paleontologist Cameron Malone has discovered a 500,000-year-old man, so miraculously preserved that some scientists call it a fraud. But Malone firmly believes in his find--and so does another man, renegade scientist Dr. Noel Anderson, who has plans for the Ancient Man. Plans that will prove the theory his colleagues ridiculed, and shatter the very foundations of modern science.


The Dawn of Fear . . . When Anderson steals some tissue from the frozen corpse and uses the still-viable DNA to create a modern Ancient Man, his experiment succeeds beyond his wildest dreams--and transforms into a waking nightmare. Only one man, Dr. Cameron Malone, can stop these horrors of genetic engineering. But can he do it before they are unleashed on mankind?
