With a body more than 20 feet in length—twice the size of the fearsome komodo dragon—the Megalania prisca was the largest lizard ever to walk the earth. It sensed its prey from five miles away, sprinted nearly as fast as a greyhound, and killed with over 50 types of neurotoxins and necrotic bacteria in its blood-tinged saliva. Thick, bony scales covered its massive body—a half ton of muscles, teeth, and claws. The Megalania was thought to have died out 20,000 years ago. Or did it? Something is killing hikers and mountain bikers in the mountains on the edge of Albuquerque, New Mexico. And that something appears to be a live Megalania that escaped from a secret lab hidden beneath Albuquerque’s Kirtland Air Force Base. Dr. Sophia Montclaire, a former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist, is drawn into a deadly task of locating the deadly reptile, but sinister factions vie to control the secret—a secret that is more horrifying than anyone could have imagined.
