Synopsis

"Konrath is one of the greatest thriller writers alive."
--Blake Crouch, bestselling author of Wayward PinesIn 1906, a crew of workers at the Panama Canal unearthed something that could not be identified or explained. Something sinister. And very much alive . . .One hundred years later, a team of scientists gather at an underground facility in New Mexico to determine what this being is--the most amazing discovery in the history of mankind--and how it has managed to survive. A biologist will analyze its structure. A veterinarian will study its behavior. A linguist will translate its language. But even the greatest minds in the world cannot answer one inescapable question: Could this ancient creature, this mockery of God and nature, actually be the ancient demon known as . . . the Beast? ORIGINFrom bestselling author J.A. Konrath comes a tense and thrilling exploration into the mysteries of life and death, good and evil, and the original source of our darkest fears . . .Praise for J.A. Konrath's bestselling thrillers"EXCELLENT."--Lee Child"UNRELENTING."--James Rollins"CONSTANT THRILLS AND CHILLS."--Heather Graham

[He] didn’t like this at all. His curiosity was being overtaken by a creepy feeling. Pick up the "Abominog" album by Uriah Heep and stare at the front cover for at least five minutes. No, make that ten. Congratulations, you have now assimilated Origin. If that thing on the "Abominog" cover looks like i......more

My first official e-published book was a great thrill ride for $3 (although others have read it for free from the author's website).
