For Kristeva, the capacity to figure the life of the mind first requires a confrontation with this horrific object that...
Ben Cartwright, former soldier, home to mourn the loss of his father stumbles upon cryptic letters from the past between the author, Arthur Conan Doyle and his great, great grandfather who vanished while exploring the Amazon jungle in 1908. Amazingly, these letters lead Ben to believe that his ancestor's expedition was the basis for Doyle's fantastical tale of a lost world inhabited by long extinct creatures. As Ben digs some more he finds clues to the whereabouts of a lost notebook that might contain a map to a place that is home to creatures that would rewrite everything known about history, biology and evolution. But other parties now know about the notebook, and will do anything to obtain it. For Ben and his friends, it becomes a race against time and against ruthless rivals. In the remotest corners of Venezuela, along winding river trails known only to lost tribes, and through near impenetrable jungle, Ben and his novice team find a forbidden place more terrifying and dangerous than anything they could ever have imagined.

Petroleum engineers drilling in the African desert uncover a pocket of mysterious, life-preserving gas, and the hellish creatures hibernating within-a colony of ten-foot prehistoric scorpions. After 400 million years, Scorpius Rex has risen to reclaim its throne as Earth's apex predator. A humanitarian mission gone awry traps Dave Brank's security team inside the drilling complex's electrified perimeter, locked in a life or death battle against hordes of flesh-eating scorpions. Brank, a decorated soldier unjustly drummed out of the army, is determined to save his men and the neighboring village. But outside the fence lurks another kind of monster-renegade commandos with a barbaric plan to lure the scorpions out . . . by feeding them women and children. Only Brank's team can stop the slaughter and, just maybe, save the world. Unfortunately, these aren't elite Delta Force Operators; they're mercenaries-battle-scarred mavericks who kill for a paycheck, not to save mankind. But with humanity's survival at stake and Brank calling the shots, even these hired guns can become heroes.

After fifty years of hibernation it has awakened. Oak Grave Forest was a place of beauty. A paradise full of gorgeous wildlife. An outdoorsman's dream. Until now.

What they find, instead, is a carnivorous humanoid. Its eyes are full of hatred, its body full of hunger, and its blood full of murder.
