AN EXPLOSIVE WILBUR SMITH ADVENTURE FOR TEEN READERS!The next generation of Ballantynes fight a terrifying new threat in this adrenaline-fuelled adventure…

Ralph and Robyn live at Crocodile Lodge, their family ranch in South Africa. They follow in their famous forebear’s footsteps, helping animals, aiding conservation efforts and learning the land. That is, until a mysterious predator starts terrorising the reserve…

On the trail for answers, the siblings discover the fearsome culprit: the largest crocodile they’ve ever seen, uncannily similar to the long-extinct Sarchosuchus Ralph recognises from his favourite game, Predasaur. And when a nearby village is ravaged by a deadly disease, seemingly stemming from a millennia-old animal, the stakes rachet up higher than ever.

As the Ballantyne siblings follow the clues, all roads lead them to Crocodile Lodge’s infamous neighbour: millionaire tech giant and hunting enthusiast Josef Gerhard. Could it really be that Gerhard is bringing the beastly creatures of Predasaur to life – and at what cost?
