What if the pursuit of knowledge erased the line between human and animal?
Long before genetic engineering was possible, H. G. Wells imagined its horror. On Moreau's isolated island, panthers speak, boars walk upright, and a mad doctor crowns himself god. As Prendick uncovers each abomination, he must decide whether monstrosity lies in the lab-or in every beating heart.
