Killer species

Emmet Doyle is dragged along to Florida City in the Florida Everglades by his father, a wildlife biologist when a strange creature is found dead in the park, and soon it is made clear that someone has created a new breed of apex predator, and they are about to set them loose.

When Dylan takes his dog Apollo for a walk in the backyard, Dr. Catalysts's newest creation, creatures that look part bat and part insect, fill the sky and head straight for Dylan.

Dr. Catalyst has had enough of Emmet Doyle's meddling. Time after time, Emmet and his friend Calvin Geaux have stepped in to ruin his plans, just when he'd released one of his genetically engineered killer species into the Florida environment. This time, Dr. Catalyst is releasing his most deadly creation yet. It's a terrifying lone hunter, bred to stalk and destroy one specific target -- Emmet Doyle.

"It's a quiet night when Dylan takes his dog, Apollo, out for a walk in the backyard. Until the noise begins. Part bat screech, part insect buzz - it seems to be coming from the roof. Suddenly the sky is full of dark, beating shapes, and they're all headed straight for Dylan. Dr. Catalyst's newest creations are hungry, and only one thing will satisfy them. Blood"--P.

Emmet finds himself in grave danger when Dr. Catalyst creates a beast specifically designed to hunt and destroy him.

"Time has passed since anyone's heard from Dr. Catalyst. Emmet and Calvin have even begun to think that the crazed scientist might be gone for good. But then, on a trip to snorkel off the Florida coast, one of their friends is nearly drowned by an underwater monster with endless rows of razor-sharp teeth. ... Dr. Catalyst is back. And this time, he's out for revenge"--Back cover.

Time has passed since anyone's heard from Dr. Catalyst. Emmet and Calvin have even begun to think that the crazed scientist might be gone for good. But then, on a trip to snorkel off the Florida coast, one of their friends is nearly drowned by an underwater monster, with endless rows of razor-sharp teeth. No one is quite sure what they saw. Was it a moray eel? A giant barracuda? There's only one thing Emmet knows for certain. Dr. Catalyst is back. And this time, he's out for revenge.
