If you enjoyed Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's Relic, then you should check out Child's Terminal Freeze
, because it's essentially the same book. I don't say that in a derogatory way, but many of the core elements are the same: beleaguered scientists; a creature that's an "evolutionary aberration," a killing machine, loose in a vast facility to which no one has a comprehensive map; subterranean layers; and ruthless individuals determined to capitalize on the publicity factor, regardless of the lives at stake. Like Relic--a decent book that launched a strong series but made for a mediocre movie--Terminal Freeze is fast-paced, cinematic, and laced with scientific explanations made comprehensible for a reasonably intelligent layperson. It's good, fun entertainment.
