Im Urlaub und hoffnungslos gelangweilt schließt sich Taine McKenna der Biologin Jules Asher auf eine Wildwanderungs-Expedition in Neuseelands südlichstem Nationalpark an. Überraschend stoßen sie dabei auf eine Gruppe der überaus scheuen Ureinwohner vom Stamm der Tureho. Wie sich herausstellt, ist ihnen auch eine Gruppe von Söldnern auf die Spur gekommen, welche fest entschlossen scheinen, das Geheimnis um die Ureinwohner für sich zu nutzen und jeden zu töten, der sich ihnen dabei in den Weg stellt. Doch es lauert noch etwas Anderes, sehr viel Umheimlicheres in der Wildnis … »Eine fantastische Mischung aus Military-Fiction, einem sehr realen Urzeitmonster und faszinierender Mythologie.« - Paul Mannering

When NZDF Sergeant Taine McKenna and his squad are tasked with escorting a bunch of civilian contractors into Te Urewera National Park, it seems a strange job for the army. Militant Tuhoe separatists are active in the area, and with its cloying mist and steep ravines, the forest is a treacherous place in winter. Yet nothing has prepared Taine for the true danger that awaits them. Death incarnate. They backtrack toward civilisation, stalked by a prehistoric creature intent on picking them off one by one. With their weapons ineffective, the babysitting job has become a race for survival. Desperate to bring his charges out alive, Taine draws on ancient tribal wisdom. Will it be enough to stop the nightmare? And when the mist clears, will anyone be left?
