Description

Overpopulation has crammed the world full-to-bursting and the last spaces for wild animals have long since been used up. Only Park Polar and Park Antarctica remain, two natural wildernesses where beasts can roam free. But these are genetically-engineered creatures, created and patented by the giant companies that run the world. McCullough, a company scientist, makes a routine visit to Park Polar to introduce a species of kangaroo to the snow-wastes. But competition between the companies is fierce and can often be fatal... and when terrorists descend, threatening the fragile equilibrium of the northern park, matters spiral rapidly and violently out of control. McCullough is soon running for her life through the hostile wilderness.
