About the Book:
What makes someone a monster?
The zookeeper Ronald Carpenter needs help recovering his escaped charges and is grateful when the secretive Eclipse company steps in to help. Little does Ronald know just how nefarious a company they really are and why they have such expertise in taking unwilling subjects captive. Can their offer of a higher salary make him leave a job he loves and help them do what he feels is just wrong?
Nigel Hunter’s experiment in an Eclipse lab looks like it could enable incredible movement powers. Intrigued with the prospect, he voluntarily gets the company’s help to try the procedure upon himself. The Eclipse now decide to take him prisoner with their other test subjects so that they can test the unbelievable speed it has given him more fully.
When the Eclipse pits Ronald and Nigel against one another in this way, can either one of them manage to get away?

Synopsis:
Ronald Carpenter (the narrator) is a zookeeper that gets help
from a company called The Eclipse when he needs to recapture some escaped
animals. The company takes a shine to him and lures him into working for them.
They are keeping a zoo of animals that they use for medical testing and are
happy to have his expertise in accommodating them. To prove his loyalty they
have him come along to take the scientist Nigel hunter captive.
Ronald and Nigel come to find out that the creatures kept by
The Eclipse are supernatural animals that the average person would not consider
real. The Eclipse is keeping ‘fantasy’ creatures for testing because they have
no legal protections and many of them, like werewolves, are nearly human.
Now the story is from Nigel’s point of view and the time is
set back to a little before he was taken captive. Nigel Hunter was working for
a lab owned by The Eclipse, but his test animals were rats and he is unaware of
the supernatural testing. After an accident, he decides to test a procedure
that allows great speed on himself. The rats with the increased speed begin to
die off. The Eclipse higher ups decide that Nigel is as good as a test animal
and get Ronald to take him captive.
Being held with the test creatures, Nigel becomes friends
with the beings he is kept among as he is basically tortured by Eclipse folk
who want to see the impossible speed. He and friend creatures decide that he is
fast enough to possibly escape and get help to stand against The Eclipse. After
a tense encounter with Ronald and the death of one of his new companions, Nigel
uses the super speed to get away.
