Description: The day started interestingly enough. They all met at the airport ready to go on an adventure with the Planet Savers organization. Once on the airplane, however, things went from interesting to terrifying as the plane plummeted into the ocean. Miranda, Semi, and Arnie are the only survivors. They find themselves on a tropical and seemingly deserted island. Soon, however, they discover that their haven is actually an island of horrors. They are captured by Dr. Franklin, a 'scientist' who's way past insane. In their cages, they are subjected to his mad and painful genetic experiments. Before long, they is no resemblance to the humans they once were. Their entire focus becomes survival and escape.
While the premise of this story is very like a teenaged version of The Island of Dr. Moreau, this story is not as well written. It is very predictable and outlandish, even for a science fiction story. There were some interesting plot twists and readers who are into transmutation and genetic experimentation might enjoy the book, but I wouldn't recommend it for general readers.
