Sinopsis
They came for his blood. They didn't expect the island to remember. What begins as a quiet island retreat for Jack and Kim becomes a nightmare when mercenaries sent by the Sinclair and Bruce Empires arrive, intent on extracting Jack's altered blood and turning it into a weapon. But the island isn't passive. Twisted by science and memory, its creatures respond to Jack in ways he doesn't understand. As unnatural alliances form and ancient powers stir, he begins to wonder whether the island is protecting him-or reshaping him. Above, Gilgamesh Avians descend like telepathic reapers. Below, something older than war begins to wake. What began as a manhunt becomes a reckoning, where the line between human and something far more alien collapses. The island remembers. And it does not forgive.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - They came for his blood. They didn't expect the island to want it back.Jack Kamping brought his wife to a lake that isn't on any map. On the second night a helicopter took out the Wi-Fi and left them there.Sixty men land at dawn. They've been told Jack is the only target, and that whatever else lives in the water stays there until dark.But the island is awake, and so is the lake, and both have been waiting for him since he was twenty-one. What comes out of the canopy has wings, and it takes memories when it bites. What lives under the water is a hundred feet long and moves whole shorelines when it turns. Neither will tell him why they rise when he moves.And something is happening to Jack that nobody planned. Every hour on that island he is a little less than he was-the strength, the endurance, the thing in his blood the whole world has been killing for. Whatever is down there put it in him. Now it is taking it back, and it isn't asking.Sixty men have three hours of daylight.The island has ninety-five years. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9798235675148
