Summaries

A mad scientist's DNA experiment on the bones of a mysterious jungle creature brings the carnivorous beast to life, and only his former assistant Ash Mattley and CIA operative Claire Sommers can stop it.

Deep in the heart of the jungle in North Borneo a group of scientists excavates the bones of a creature buried among the ruins of ancient and forgotten civilization. The expedition is lead by Dr. Carl Wessinger. He discovers how to extract DNA from the bones. They only need an enzyme to recreate the creature. Wessinger asks the help of Ash Mattley, who had done research on enzymes. He is double-crossed and two years later Claire Sommers, who works for the CIA, asks Ash for help after a number of mutilated bodies are found. Claire believes Wessinger is behind this because her 'company' has no more contact with the lab in the jungle. Wessinger who retooled the creature, wants to sell it to the highest bidder as a war machine, and it is on the loose in the jungle, killing everybody.—Wladimir van Heemst <[email protected]>
