Angol
He sought the most primitive man on Earth. He found a nightmare.
Professor Carl Edmunton, an ambitious and arrogant anthropologist, believes he has made the discovery of the century. On a remote, uncharted island in the South Seas, he has found a species of prehistoric man-massive, savage, and cannibalistic. Driven by a desire for academic glory, he captures two of the "specimens" and transports them to his research institute in America, caging them like animals.
But during a violent storm, the transport truck crashes outside the sleepy, isolated town of Glenview, Tennessee, and the specimens are set free. The town's peaceful facade is shattered as its citizens are found brutally murdered, their bodies mutilated in a way no native predator could accomplish. Sheriff Ross Michaels, a man with a tragic past and a personal vendetta, must track down the killers. But he clashes with the arriving Professor Edmunton, who is more interested in recapturing his specimens alive than in stopping the slaughter.
Into this maelstrom steps Paul Coffman, a New Yorker fleeing a broken engagement. When he becomes the sheriff's prime suspect, he must fight to clear his name and protect the woman he has come to love. As the townspeople are hunted one by one, they must band together to survive a terrifying predator that only the professor seems to understand. Specimens is a pulse-pounding thriller that explores the dark intersection of ambition, science, and humanity's most primal fears.
