In the quiet of the Scottish countryside, a young boy has been killed.
Nobody is sure how... or by what.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Ronnie Brown, author of the Restless Souls trilogy
Following in the prehistoric footprints of Jurassic Park, Robert Evans’ Rewilding is a gripping debut novel offering a different take on the story, one that taps into the current aspirations for rewilding and the ominous world of genetic modification. With its well-rounded characters and plot that twists and turns, I had to read on and on, my curiosity piqued. It’s a thriller with a surprising end that I never suspected.
R. N. Cogley, author of Gruesome Getaway and An Inquiry into Innocence
A captivating and exciting story that will have you at the edge of your seat. Evans undoubtedly proves himself to be a talented storyteller in this refreshing, thrill-filled tale of a brave biologist’s investigation into a young boy’s mysterious death. The Rewilding is a highly recommended read.
Chris Coppel, author of Latency, Last Light, Lusus Naturae
Wolves and lions and bears, oh my! What if you rewild the wrong animals? Evans' story is eerily relevant to today’s news, only the wolves are the least of the problem. If you like intrigue, suspense and heart thumping twists, put this book at the top of your reading list!
ROBERT SAYS...
“The beauty of sci-fi is that it allows us to think beyond the realms of current possibility into what could be. For me, the gatekeeper to such a world was Michael Crichton. Like all good sci-fi writers, he had me thinking: what if?
I’ve always been fascinated by the prehistoric. With scientific advances being what they are, I wanted to tap into something just a step or two ahead of reality (even as I write, the gaps in the steps are shrinking fast) which was why I wrote The Rewilding. Tapping into realistic trends with a little bit of ‘what if?’ thrown into the mix, all stirred together with dollops of drama. After all, we still need the story to go with the concept.”

BIO
Robert Evans grew up in Surrey and has always enjoyed creative writing, which perhaps showed through a little too much at university when writing his essays for history and while doing his teacher training! This then gave way to writing stories that he would share with his class, claiming he had found them on the internet and gauging their reaction.
After moving to Cheltenham in his thirties, and becoming a father, his passion for writing intensified, and his reading became more varied as he tried to identify skills that he wanted to develop. Whilst he continues to navigate the challenges of the British education system during the day, as a fulltime teacher, Robert spends his evenings writing, and has set his sights firmly on trying to craft engaging material for people to enjoy.
