BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP MEETS JURASSIC PARK WHEN A NEWLY GRADUATED
GENETIC ENGINEER GOES TO WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT AIMS TO PRODUCE
CUSTOM-MADE DRAGONS
Noah Parker, a newly minted PhD, is thrilled to land a dream job at
Reptilian Corporation, the hottest tech company in the American
Southwest. He's eager to put his genetic engineering expertise to use
designing new lines of Reptilian's feature product: living, breathing
dragons.
Although highly specialized dragons have been used for industrial
purposes for years, Reptilian is desperate to crack the general retail
market. By creating a dragon that can be the perfect family pet,
Reptilian hopes to put a dragon into every home.
While Noah's research may help Reptilian create truly domesticated
dragons, Noah has a secret goal. With his access to the company's
equipment and resources, Noah plans to slip changes into the dragons'
genetic code, bending the company's products to another purpose entirely
. . .
