Relict: A Paleontological Survival Thriller

By Cody Blotter

Paleontologist Dr Terry Carlson has spent her career unearthing the past to bury her own. On a routine dig in rural South Dakota, an accident fractures a sealed chamber and uncovers the impossible.

Below the surface lies a thriving relict ecosystem. In a cavern hidden by time, evolution kept moving. At the top of the food chain is an apex predator that was never meant to survive.

When a violent storm traps Terry's team underground, the fossils stop being specimens and start hunting.

In the dark, science is useless. Survival is all that matters in this high-stakes thriller that blends the biological awe of Jurassic Park with the relentless, trapped-in-the-sand terror of Tremors.
