Titanis: Islands of the First Beasts, (Paperback)

When Jacob James discovers a prehistoric mosquito preserved in brachiosaur saliva, he unlocks the impossible: the resurrection of ancient life. Driven by ambition and awe, he builds Titanis-a synthetic archipelago of three biome-engineered islands, each ruled by a genetically revived Alpha Titan. But when a system malfunctions and climate shifts allow the titans to breach containment, the world spirals into fear, politics, and chaos. To restore balance, Jacob must retrieve DNA from the three sovereign alphas-Stegorok, the seismic stegosaur; Paralith, the aquatic engineer; and Pteravox, the mimicry-driven pterosaur-and activate a protocol that speaks their language. As global tensions rise, Jacob's journey becomes more than scientific-it becomes moral. From volcanic plains to mangrove labyrinths to cliffside thermals, he learns that coexistence requires humility and that true stewardship begins not with control, but with care. In the aftermath, humanity must choose: fear the titans, or love them. Titanis is a cinematic, emotionally resonant science fiction novel about resurrection, responsibility, and the rhythms of reconciliation.
