Research scientist Suzanna Howard has reached one of the most unexplored regions on Earth, only to find a mining corporation has beaten her to it.
But more than gold has been unearthed in the interior of Papua New Guinea.

When the creatures attack the intruders in their domain, Suzanna finds herself allied to the very people she despises. As she battles to protect a species once thought extinct, she soon realizes the Megalania are not the ones on the endangered list.
