Jurassic Park, but with dragons.
China has built a new zoo and they are seeking experts to give their endorsement of this fascinating new exibit. (sound familiar?)
CJ is a reptile expert and she's a little bit baffled why they have sought her opinion. until they arrive in China and discover that the Great Zoo is stocked with hundreds of real live dinosaurs... i mean... Dragons. It's dragons.
The head hanchos take the group of experts on a fascinating and intriguing tour and talk about all the safety measures they have taken to ensure that nothing can go wrong. (spared no expense, right?)
until of course everything goes wrong. The safety measures (some kind of electronic pulse or force field kind of idea) is useless because the dragons have figured it out and clawed out their own ears so that the shields are useless against them.
They even talk about Jurassic Park in the book but mentioning the idea you copied doesn't make it less of a copy.
The body count was a lot higher. It was definitely a lot more graphic. Heads being continually bitten off or people being torn in two... it has it's element of excitement and intrigue for sure.
but the fact of the matter is... it's Jurassic Park with dragons. And I had a really, really hard time getting past that.
My rating - Eh. I'd pass.
