An electrifying thriller about species re-engineering run amok, Scales is a great, fast-paced read perfect for fans of Jurassic Park.
Eddie Boka's first combat mission is a success... until he's overwhelmed by a raging compulsion and is found consuming an enemy soldier. His cannibalism threatens to derail the plans of Blayvine Industries, whose secret project has genetically enhanced Eddie and three other prototypes with reptilian DNA. The corporation needs Eddie's urges brought under control before it can introduce its dino-humans to the world and begin selling armies of them.
Facing a deadline for the big media unveiling, Blayvine hires unorthodox therapist Adelaide "Addi" LaTour to treat Eddie's cannibalism. Sparks fly - literally - but can she get his dinosaur side under control? What happens to Eddie and others like him if she can't? And most important of all - is there something more going on at Blayvine than they have let on?
