Product Description

Who is the creature hiding in Central Park in New York City? Hudge Stone, a reporter with the New York Herald, attempts to find out and his search leads him to a government scientific study known as Project Dawning, which began in the jungles of the African Congo years ago. Doctor Luther Steele now heads the study and he holds the answer to what the being hiding in Central Park really is. Is he a primitive tribesman or the missing link himself? With the help of Doctor Dekko Quant, who once headed the project, Stone learns of the strange circumstances deep in the African jungles that produced the creature. His only hope is to write a story that will reveal the secret of the creature. That secret includes the medical discoveries of the last two centuries and beyond. It is a story connected to the findings of the past and the numerous possibilities of the future. A story that combines science with legend, fiction with current scientific fact.

Customer Reviews

Excellent
Now here's a book you can really sink your teeth into. I think if enough people read it, it would be considered something of a modern-day classic. It doesn't read like a typical story. No, each chapter is told through one of the characters' point of view. There are also created newspaper stories and research papers and eyewitness accounts that make the story believable and interesting. The author, Adam Pfeffer, also did a good deal of research to make the story come to life and remain relevant to the present and future. Today's science includes biotechnology and genetic engineering and there's all kinds of information related to these two areas. Here's what I suggest: You pick up a copy of this book and read it. You'll enjoy it, I guarantee. I would rate it as a real "thumbs up" experience. Tally ho, a real winner. Includes the argument between evolution and creationism and asks you to decide. Packs a punch. A real knockout. Try it, you'll like it.

A Monster For The 21st Century Gets An "A"
"The Missing Link" was a great book that includes a totally new monster for the 21st century. It is a monster that is a product of science, biotechnology and genetic engineering, and that monster is the most fearsome known to human beings because it is partly the human being. Yes, the monster is us! The book is told in multiple first-person narratives, including newspaper stories, entries from fictional reference books and fictional eyewitness accounts. It all makes for a fascinating, page-turning reading experience. This is a book that harkens back to the days when books were written to entertain readers. You won't be disappointed. You just know there are experiments taking place today that are very similar to the ones described in the book. "The Missing Link" definitely gets an "A" from this reviewer. You won't be able to put it down until the shocking, surprising ending.
