Syngamy (Paperback)

A team of evolutionary biologists think they have made a startling discovery in the wilderness of North Eastern Siberia; a female gamete or egg cell from an unknown species. But upon further investigation the consensus is that the cell is not what they thought it was. However, one of the team, Dr. Deacon Wallace, doesn’t share their scepticism. He tries to prove their original theory was correct with blood chilling consequences
