Add a CommentAnother one of those adventure novels but this one invokes a little science-fiction: genetically engineered animals and (gasp!) even humans --- ok --- homi habilis. There's the mandatory violence: machine guns, napalm, --- you know, just the regular stuff --- nothing serious. A good romp through adventure land that keeps you occupied for a few riain or the plane ride.des on the subway or on the commuter tr
