"An earnest Michael Crichton-style thriller that
respects science and its audience’s intellect…. In a day and age
when ‘intelligent design’ is touted as respectable credo, a piece of
pop entertainment that takes the time to uphold Darwin’s thesis in
readable fashion is to be heartily endorsed." -- Washington

"Jaws meets Charles Darwin in Dave Freedman's debut
novel..." -- USA Today 05/25/06
"Remarkable ... Imagery evokes a visceral terror in
the reader ... Like all the best horror authors, Freedman takes his
story well beyond the safety of camp making it believable ...
Genuinely terrifying ... Don't be surprised if giant flying fish are
the talk of the summer." -- Booklist -- 05/15/06
"Action scenes will have Hollywood animation artists
salivating." -- Kirkus Reviews -- 05/06
