Description

In the quiet of the Scottish countryside, a young boy has been killed.

Nobody is sure how... or by what.

This inexplicable death piques the interest of field biologist Steph Patel who, motivated by the chance of a money maker, pursues the boy’s story.

Discovered near the secret location of a rewilding project, where geneticists are working to bring back once-extinct predators, the boy’s death is suspicious to say the least. But when Steph probes further, things rapidly go south, and she soon finds herself fighting for her life against enemies far more dangerous than anything resurrected from the past.

A Note From the Publisher

The Rewilding is an adrenaline-charged, gripping thriller that fuses climate fiction, eco-horror, and speculative science into a chilling modern parable. Think Jurassic Park but grittier, gorier, and far more plausible!

Robert Evans says...
"I have always enjoyed learning about dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, and like many children who grew up in the nineties, films like Jurassic Park and The Lost World left me wondering. But it wasn’t until I watched a documentary a few years back about the feasibility of bringing mammoths back from extinction that I was inspired to start writing The Rewilding. I love rewilding as a concept and the positive impact it can have on an ecosystem (though my book isn’t a great example of that!)."

Evans undoubtedly proves himself to be a talented storyteller in this refreshing, thrill-filled tale of a brave biologist’s investigation into a young boy’s mysterious death. The Rewilding is a highly recommended read.” - R. N. Cogley, author of Gruesome Getaway and An Inquiry into Innocence

“Following in the prehistoric footprints of Jurassic Park, Robert Evans’ The Rewilding is a gripping debut novel offering a different take on the story, one that taps into the current aspirations for rewilding and the ominous world of genetic modification. With its well-rounded characters and plot that twists and turns, I had to read on and on, my curiosity piqued. It’s a thriller with a surprising end that I never suspected.” - Ronnie Brown, author of the Restless Souls trilogy

“Evan’s story is eerily relevant to today’s news, only the wolves are the least of the problem. If you like intrigue, suspense and heart thumping twists, put this book at the top of your reading list!” - Chris Coppel, author of Latency, Lusus Naturae, and more
