Ropen Island - Paperback

by Lois Buchter (Author)

Dr. David Lane, tormented by his wife's tragic end, leads a scientific expedition into the heart of Papua New Guinea in search of a diabetes cure. The team, delving into the unknown jungles, watches glowing orbs, deep into unchartered territory, blink in the distance. The natives call the animals, Pterodactyl-like creatures, death-eaters or Ropen, stalking at night with an appetite for humans and crocodiles. Familial tensions rise when David's son, fianc?e, and estranged brother join the expedition, adding a layer of unresolved conflict to the unfolding scientific mystery.

As the team pushes deeper into ROPEN ISLAND, reconciling family dynamics becomes a high-stake endeavor when they decide to follow the trail of the creatures out to an island off the coast. The treacherous journey, rife with peril and ancient creatures, takes a dark turn when an injured team member, Billy, tests the limits of their commitment.

Will they make it back to civilization? Or, will members of the team, become "lunch" for the Ropen?
