Aepyornis Island

A Living Relic. A Tropical Prison. A Fight for the Top of the Food Chain. Butcher thought he'd struck it rich when he pulled a set of colossal, perfectly preserved eggs from the prehistoric mud of a Madagascar swamp - specimens from the extinct Aepyornis, a bird that dwarfed the tallest man. But after a violent betrayal leaves him cast away on a desolate atoll with nothing but his wits and one remaining egg, the unthinkable happens: the prehistoric titan stirs. What begins as a bizarre Robinson Crusoe companionship with a chick named "Friday" quickly spirals into a primeval nightmare. As the bird grows into a fourteen-foot-tall, predatory anachronism with a beak like a pickaxe and a temper to match, Butcher finds himself no longer the master of the island - but the prey. In this Victorian masterpiece of isolation and survival, H.G. Wells proves that some fossils are better left buried. The lagoon is deep, the palms are high, but there is nowhere left to hide… Press play now and face the feathered terror of Aepyornis Island!
