Book Description:
A team of marine scientists is on the verge of making the most stunning discovery in the history of man: a previously unknown predatory species, alive now, evolving just like the dinosaursÂand being forced out of its world and into man's for a violent first encounter.
In their quest for answers, they engage a host of fascinating charactersÂexperts in neurology and deep sea geology, flight-simulation wizards, and evolution historiansÂand set off together to exotic locales, experiencing love, friendship, loyalty, and betrayal along the way. When people start dying, the real hunt begins.
Weaving science and thriller in a way not seen since Jurassic Park, Natural Selection is that rare blend of intricately layered research, rich characters, and tornado pacing.

This book is awesome in its over-the-topness. It's as if the author couldn't stop one-upping himself.
"I know, I'll write a book about giant manta rays. No, I'll write a book about giant man-eating manta rays! No, I'll write a book about giant man-eating manta rays that can fly! No, I'll write a book about giant, man-eating manta rays that can fly and move into a California national park!"
I'm not sure if I enjoyed the book as much as I enjoy telling people about the book.

David H. (OK...the premise is really a stretch. The description of the "thought processes" of a new species is a good try, but gives way too much credit for any "intelligence" this new creature demonstrates. The human characters are sympathetic, if sketchily drawn. Relationship dialog is kinda stilted. Not hard to read, but I found myself skipping big chunks because it just got to be TMI from time to time. It's a bizarre little quickie.
