A zoo full of dragons offers a thrilling ride

AUSTRALIAN action thriller writer Matthew Reilly takes elements from Michael Crichton’s classic “Jurassic Park” and gives them a high fantasy spin in his latest action masterpiece, “The Great Zoo of China.”

Reptile expert Dr Cassandra Jane “CJ” Cameron is asked to visit a zoo that is soon to open in the middle of China. Staff members at the site are extremely secretive and provide few answers to her questions until Cameron and the others witness what animals are being kept inside the compound: dragons. The Chinese government has been keeping the discovery of dragon eggs hidden for over 40 years. Now that they have been able to create a place for the dragons to be seen by the public, they are ready to unveil their existence. Once word spreads, officials believe the zoo will become the No. 1 tourist attraction in the world.

Cameron soon realizes the dragons are intelligent and have a plan to escape.
