What if Stalin’s deadliest weapon wasn’t nuclear, but genetic?

When masked figures storm a Ugandan rainforest and steal Kibo, his alpha chimp, Professor Benjamin Fioretti loses more than his life’s work. They moved like men but fought like something else. They knew exactly what they came for. And they vanished in a flash of white light.

Lured to the frozen wastes of Siberia by the promise of answers, Benjamin discovers the horrifying truth: his groundbreaking research on the “warrior gene” has been twisted into Stalin’s ultimate weapon. Deep beneath the permafrost, thousands of creatures are being manufactured, something between man and ape. Something that follows orders. Something bred for total war.
