Woodward (c)
It is eleven years after the events of the Jurassic Park movies and
CIA agent Daniel Espinoza is working undercover to infiltrate
infamously brutal Nicaraguan drug lord Gabriel Cazares' drug ring.
Cazares and his henchmen have taken over Isla Nubar and converted
the main facility into a walled fortress and pleasure palace in the
center of a primeval jungle filled with savage monsters. When his
deep cover is blown, Espinoza finds himself lost and alone on the
dangerous island, hunted by both armed thugs and prehistoric
monstrosities. And there is someone else watching him, too—a
mysterious figure in the shadows who could be Espinoza's only hope
for survival... or the bringer of his ultimate doom.
