Second Genesis — Jeffrey Anderson

SURVIVAL IS AN INSTINCT.
In a private compound deep in the jungles of the Amazon rain forest, a team of scientists, expert in stem cell engineering, is playing God. With unnerving success. Among them, young biologist Jamie Kendrick is grappling with the implications of the lab's creation--a genetically altered chimpanzee, as intelligent, as soulful, and as sentient as man. It reads. It writes. It reasons. And like man, it hunts.

SO IS FEAR.
When a lead scientist is brutally murdered and the chimps escape, Jamie stumbles upon shocking new discoveries--the unethical origin of the project, where the terrifying experiment is ultimately headed, and its potential to render humanity obsolete.

And no one knows what has been unleashed.
