Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 7, 2006 -- It’s the largest dinosaur find in history, and the Smithsonian Institute has hired archaeologist Ben Salisbury and his team to head up the archaeological dig. Knowing it will take many months, the group sets out for the Alaskan wilderness with family and friends in tow. As they make their way through a tunnel that they believe will lead them through a mountain range, they find themselves instead transported into a terrifying world that resembles prehistoric Earth. This new world is a place of great peril, where each must fight to survive against not only monstrous creatures but aberrant humans who have crossed through the portal before them.

“Katie, the youngest member of the group, suddenly takes off into the forest in a panic. Jill runs after her sister, screaming for her to stop. The two reach some trees and two large male figures grab them, covering their mouths. More of the figures come out from behind trees, rocks and shrubs, grabbing the girls before they can react. Danielle and the still naked Sandie remain in the stream. “Let them go!” demands Danielle. A man wearing a white tuxedo steps out. He throws a knife that slams into Danielle’s chest. Danielle falls into the water, face-first. Sandie quickly checks on her. She falls back into the stream, in terror, as blood pours from the wound in Danielle’s chest.”

As a fan of science-fiction/fantasy and horror, author Benjamin Schenk brings his fertile imagination to bear in this edgy tale. A writer of suspense stories since he was a teenager, Schenk says the idea for Second World was inspired by a serial written in the early 1900s by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which became the book, The Lost World, and then a latter-day television show. In Schenk’s Second World, today’s audiences will find just the right mix of primeval challenges and deviant modern behavior.
