Lough Ree, May 1997.Terror can come at any time, even during a routine days work.A mad scientist with a dangerous obsession.A secret island on an ancient lake.Five individuals on a cruiser thrown into a life or death struggle.And one very angry, very tough, old man on a suicide mission watching them.A classic exploration of what could happen when bad science collaborates with big businessFormer Lough Ree Laboratory environmental employee Catherine Coles must lead a group of four others onto Lough Ree to kill a mutated monster that has escaped from a local textile manufacturing factory. It is genetically engineered bacteria; it was put there to consume toxic waste. No one however envisioned what it might do in a living eco-system like a lake. It's May and the tourist season is just beginning. As bodies turn up semi-devoured on the lake and onshore the pressure mounts on the five to stop this hideous creature. But not all of them share the same motivation.What reviewers say about Mutation:"A Crichton-Esque basis in fact to the premise, which makes it a book that will likely haunt you long after you've closed the cover." - C. Lovett, reviewer"As an environmental scientist, I found the whole thing plausible and interesting."- B. McLeann, reviewer"There is a supernatural edge to this book, drawing on the lakes many myths and legends."- Athlone Advertiser, 23 Aug, 2018.;
