Book description
For thirty-six years, James Patterson has written unputdownable,
pulse-racing novels. Now, he has written a book that surpasses all of
them. ZOO is the thriller he was born to write.
All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities.
Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an
increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush
in Africa, the enormity of the impending violence becomes terrifyingly clear.
With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world
leaders before it's too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity,
cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans
to hide.
With wildly inventive imagination and white-knuckle suspense that
rivals Stephen King at his very best, James Patterson's ZOO is an
epic, non-stop thrill-ride.
JAMES PATTERSON is one of the best-known and biggest-selling
writers of all time. He is the author of some of the most popular
series of the past decade - the Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club and
Detective Michael Bennett novels - and he has written many other
number one bestsellers including romance novels and stand-alone
thrillers. He lives in Florida with his wife and son.
James is passionate about encouraging children to read. Inspired by
his own son who was a reluctant reader, he also writes a range of
books specifically for young readers. James has formed a partnership
with the National Literacy Trust, an independent, UK-based charity
that changes lives through literacy. In 2010, he was voted Author of
the Year at the Children's Choice Book Awards in New York.
