| “Abrih saw the fast-approaching, drab orange and green image slightly to his left in the rippling water. He shuddered with the thought of something looming over him from behind. Instantly, he dropped himself into the water to escape whatever might be sneaking up on him. But the image was not a reflection. Submerged and at zero distance, the Meiolania's face and horns now became discernible. The monstrous turtle's triangular jaws opened a full twelve inches. It sliced off Abrih's entire jaw from ear to ear, just missing the carotid artery and jugular vein. Abrih's upper larynx, ripped completely out of his neck, formed a lump of bloody sinew and cartilage floating from the right side of the hungry reptile's hideous head.” |

| Reviews: |
| "… Thoroughly compelling … The climax, containing one of the finest action sequesnces in recent fiction, approaches apocalyptic dimensions … While Michael Crichton's Jurassic stories were interesting, Gallagher ups the anter dramatically and intellectually." (Richard C. Woods, OP (Author of Mysticism and Prophecy)) |
| "… Hard to put down … haunting close to real possibilities … terrifying. I truly enjoyed the action, excitement, politics, human drama, all mixed with enough science to make me think that perhaps this could really happen." (Scott R. Woodward, Ph.D.) |
| "Gallagher goes into intense detail of every aspect of this world he has created. So much so that not only does the reader feel like a nightmare that won't stop has been recreated ... so vivid that reading becomes a scary, yet thrilling adventure in exploring our own roots ... profound ... a wonderful job of connecting philosophy and the humanities with science... surprising ... intense ... sobering …" (Bookwatch) |
| "The Pleistocene Redemption is a fast-paced and intense experience in a tale of genetic manipulation unleashing awesome and mysterious forces. The Pleistocene Redemption is a harrowing, science fiction thriller complete with prehistoric monsters and Neanderthals that will grip the reader from the first page to the last. The Pleistocene Redemption is another of those science fiction masterpieces so easy to pick up and so hard to put down." (Midwest Book Review) |
