''Jurassic Park with dragons'' NEIL OLIVER
''Completely believable'' WASHINGTON POST



GET READY FOR ACTION ON A GIGANTIC SCALE

The Chinese government has been keeping a secret for forty years: they have found a species of animal no one believed even existed.

Now the Chinese are ready to unveil their astonishing discovery within the greatest zoo ever constructed. A small group of VIPs and journalists has been brought to the zoo deep within China to see its fabulous creatures for the first time. Among them is Dr Cassandra Jane ''CJ'' Cameron, a writer for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC and an expert on reptiles.

The visitors are assured by their Chinese hosts that they will marvel at these beasts, that they are perfectly safe, that nothing can go wrong . . .

Trade Review
Jurassic Park with dragons instead of dinosaurs... so compellingly written that you get caught up in the furiously dramatic story... THE GREAT ZOO OF CHINA is a blockbuster of a book that tears along at a shrieking pace. * SCI-FI NOW *
I enjoyed The Great Zoo of China from start to finish and found it difficult to put down. It's fun, it's tense, action-packed and rewarding with a subtle humour that offsets all the action and bloodletting. A Hollywood Blockbuster in Book form. * SFBOOK.COM *
The science and the setting of "The Great Zoo of China" make the scenario completely believable. The action is overwhelming, making the reader feel giddy as the pages fly. You will believe that dragons are real. * WASHINGTON POST *
When it comes to thrillers from Matthew Reilly, phrases like 'high octane' and 'intense action' don't even come close to adequately convey how much insanity he manages to cram into every novel. I've come to expect twisty-turny plots that rattle along at a breakneck pace and that I'll be so caught up that I'll be frightened to even blink. The good news is that The Great Zoo of China is no exception to this rule. * THEELOQUENTPAGE *
A very exciting book... I loved every page of The Great Zoo of China. It's undemanding, great fun to read, thrilling, exciting, gory and did I say thrilling? * FORWINTERNIGHTS *
Brace yourself for non-stop action... Fast furious, this is a must read for fans of Matthew Reilly and the action genre. * YORKSHIRE EVENING POST *
'If you liked Jurassic Park prepared to be totally blown away by this action-packed blockbuster.' * PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH *
