Synopsis
Northern Africa, 2053: a groundbreaking paleontological discovery sparks hope for restoring the world’s collapsing bird populations as a “de-extinction” renaissance unfolds. Nearly a century later, deep under the Sahara, physicists explore the universe’s mysteries while massive surface domes test self-sustaining ecosystems filled with revived, genetically resurrected species. As these timelines converge, humanity finds itself entangled in a brutal creation of its own making. One that unleashes ancient life forms, once lost to extinction, into a denuded world. A hidden reality is unmasked—revealed by the RIFT—and it does not bend to us.
RIFT is a sci-fi horror thrill ride that blends the de-extinction themes of Jurassic Park with the mind-melting cosmic horror of Annihilation. A cautionary tale on the dangers of de-extinction, anthropic climate change, and the consequences of probing the mysteries of our reality. It’s perfect for those who love their science fiction with hot cup of cosmic horror. And dinosaurs.
Embark on this meticulously crafted tale that blurs the distinction between time and space, weaving seemingly disparate events into a house of cards driven by humanity's hubrous. The Sixth Extinction is merely the beginning.

Paperback. Condition: new. Wierum, Frederic ]; White, Steve; Hima, Rudolf; Dominguez, Pablo (illustrator). Paperback. The year is 2053. Jerome "Romey" Powell leads a team of paleontologists to uncover a revolutionary find in the heart of Northern Africa. one that renews hope for the revival of dwindling bird populations globally. Meanwhile, Mitogen's cloning technology sows the seeds of de-extinction, ushering a revival of some of earth's most iconic megafauna. Nearly a century later, far beneath the Saharan sands of Algeria, Lotta Eklund leads a team of physicists with the aim of uncovering the mysteries of our universe. Back at the surface, a trio of colossal domes form a proving ground for integrating self-sustaining ecosystems beyond our world. Veterinarian Camila Perez oversees one dome in particular called the ARC, an artificial preserve teeming with sub-Saharan biodiversity, including de-extinct species not seen for centuries and, in some cases, millennia.These stories intertwine to trap humanity in a web of its own making, one that harbors some of the most efficient-and brutal-species to have ever existed. One that reveals that there are fates far worse than death. A new era emerges that bends to no man or woman. An era brought on by the RIFT. This item is printed on demand.
