Description

Beneath the inky black surface of Lake Ness lurks something too monstrous for this world...

Gerry Lawson, a washed-up scientist slowly recovering from a life that got out of his control, finds himself saying yes when his cousin Marnie asks him to help her and her partner Jim with an outdoor survival program for disadvantaged kids. Not quite sure what he's let himself in for, he slowly adjusts to the isolated environment of Lake Ness and the challenges of living with a bunch of often erratic and unpredictable teenagers.

However, it's not long before their best-laid plans start to unravel. Some of the kids aren't too good at obeying the rules of the camp, Gerry finds himself dragged back down into memories he's been trying to avoid, and Marnie and Jim have had a falling out. The FBI is also sniffing around and everyone knows that they don't generally like to spend money unless it's money well spent.

On top of everything else, there's something large and dangerous living in the lake and as impossible as it sounds, Gerry is starting to think they've discovered some long-extinct aquatic dinosaurs living in this isolated waterway, creatures who are rapidly developing a taste for human flesh. Someone is going to have to step up to be a hero before more lives are lost and it looks like Gerry is that man. Unfortunately, volunteering to be a hero was never one of Gerry's preferred career choices.

Lake Ness - extinction is about to be redefined.

A mash-up between Jaws and Jurassic Park - a must-read for fans of the killer creature genre

★★★Teresa

It was a 4 star creature feature with a few errors that glared, but a fun read.I wish storylines had been completed and we knew what was going on with Jim and Leigh, but it just stops.The last 2 pages sucked. Terrible ending, or non ending as it may be.

★★Boomer

I love creature novels, especially ones set in the deep so I thought a short book like this would be a fun way to kill a few hours, but I can now say that if you're looking for some exciting killer creature action you're going to be disappointed. About 70% of the book comprises of a few adults and a bunch of kids attending an outdoor survival camp. They potter around building fires, eating meals, hiking... it's all very mundane. The kids - except for one - all come off as jerks and the main char
