When the son and daughter in law of a prominent billionaire go missing in one of the most exotic locations in the United States, Colorado Bureau of Investigations Agent in Charge Frankie Cash is called in. Taking advantage of her newly minted title that the paint hasn’t even dried on, Cash is up and on the run to start the investigation. What she finds at the prehistoric and unimaginable Erebus Resort is nothing short of astonishing. Erebus CEO, Maitland Barrow, is a one of a kind dreamer who had visions of creating something never done before, or in this case, something that hasn’t been done in millions of years.
Erebus Resort is home to some of the world’s most beautiful creatures, including the Mammuthus Columbi (Woolly Mammoth), Woolly Indricothere (large Rhino), Megatherium Americanum (Giant Ground Sloth). Erebus has been able to seemingly bring Jurassic Park to life and create an environment mimicking the natural habitats that seems like a time from centuries past. While the investigation begins, Cash and Eagle County Sheriff James Colcord begin to believe there is more than meets the eye of this tropical oasis. What they don’t see are the secrets that Chief of Security Andrew Maximillian and his team are keeping from them and what the real mission of the resort is.
There is something mysterious running around the Erebus property that is killing people and terrorizing the law enforcement and the visitors that remain. Who is in charge of the madness and what happens to the to everyone left at the resort when all hell breaks loose?
Preston brings to life historic creatures that clash in modern day America! Life and death are two things that are certain in our world, but when scientists and men start playing God and giving those creatures a second chance, bad things are certain to happen!
Preston creates an imaginary universe that doesn’t seem that far off. An energetic storyline that is bloody and dangerous from the start with fleeting images of Jeff Goldblum whispering to you, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." There is a mysterious feeling that surrounds the Erebus property and danger looks around every corner and you’ll be greeted by imperfect characters in the perfect roles. Preston doesn’t make everything fall into line, bringing determined and valiant characters that make mistakes and highlight an authentic environment aside from the once creatures. Mad men with money doing crazy things sounds familiar, but this one adds a twist you can’t even fathom. Enjoy this ride!
