Description
A remote Florida swamp has been targeted for theme-park development, and the swamp's inhabitants are none too happy. It doesn't help that the residents are a colony of intelligent, prehistoric, dinosaur-like birds. This flock of beasts, relying on stealth, cunning, and killer instinct survived the mass extinction that killed off the dinosaurs, and have been living in secret, just outside our civilized world. The developers hire mercenaries to exterminate the flock, and a billionaire rogue environmentalist has his own plans for these rare, predatory creatures. A naive young Fish and Wildlife officer caught between these two incredibly powerful forces may find out the hard way that man is the most dangerous predator of them all..."The Flock" is a contemporary eco-thriller about what can happen when man violates nature, and nature fights back.
