A military thriller featuring dinosaurs and genetic experiments in the Ural Mountains.

Gustavo Bondoni presents a narrative centered on Lieutenant Max Alexeyev, a Russian Special Forces soldier tasked with protecting national interests.

The story explores the intersection of military action and scientific horror. Alexeyev battles for survival against both ancient creatures and contemporary biological threats. Shadowy human forces operate in the background, working to conceal the secrets of the research conducted in the area.
