Book Review: Dinosaur DNA is Not Our Friend
Summary: 4 Stars

If there is one thing books and movies have taught us, it is not to fool around with dinosaur DNA. In this novelization, we find a shady scientist in a shady corporation working with prehistoric crocodile DNA in hopes of creating human regeneration. What he gets is a big hungry beastie that escapes into the swamps of Florida.

With a big hungry croc-monster on the loose what can one expect but the enlistment of an Australian crocodile hunter to help bring the beast down. Never mind that it's not really a croc and that it is a big as anything that ever stalked the dinosaurs.

Although a novelization, the action comes off well in printed form and really makes me want to see the movie. The characters are pretty standard but there are some clever twists as well as some old ones. The real problem with the story lies in the way the whole thing is kept local. Despite wide news coverage of events it still is all handled by local law-enforcement. No Nation Guard, no state troopers, no nothing. But still, if you want giant man-eating monsters, this one will fit the bill.

Summary of Dinocroc

Something is growing in the murky waters of Grant's Lake. A genetic engineer at the neighboring Gereco Corporation has conducted a series of experiments on growing giant prehistoric crocodiles. But one of the experiments has gotten out of control. The only survivor from the Age of Dinosaurs erupts from the depths of the lake, ravenous for prey. Pursued by an Australian crocodile hunter, Dinocroc terrorizes the residents of the once peaceful community. Not even the best of the best can stop this feeding frenzy!
