Excerpt

Opening paragraph -

The lone free-lance reporter, hovering around the speaker, was listening avidly and eager to hear something sensational to exploit. Herr Professor Kurt Pettermann was adamant, however.
"Please do sit down, but I can only give you a few minutes, seeing how persistent you’ve been, but I want to stop these crazy rumours right now. There's no way we intend to clone any full size dinosaurs. That idea is ridiculous, we'd never be able to feed them for a start."
The reporter was disappointed. She closed her notebook, then stood up and exclaimed. "So what are you people going to do then?"
The professor smiled, confidently.
"Fortunately we've discovered a way to genetically modify a creature's DNA, such that its size and growth is totally controlled. Our calculations show that the largest of the creatures we plan to select will not grow to be more than a few centimetres in height."



Professional Reviews

Introduction
Tony Thorne has the mind of a scientist and the soul of an artist. His science and technology are correct, his extrapolations wonderful and ingenious. But then – surprise! A blackness may descend – or a brilliant flash of black humour. Read and enjoy …

Harry Harrison* (Barcelo Varadero Hotel, 19.11.2007)


TENERIFE – Tall Tales with a Twist in the Tail
"With all the fervor and creativity an author can muster, Tony Thorne MBE has put together a remarkable collection of short stories, inspired by the island he loves and the genre of shadowy imagination that he is so very good at capturing. His tales of Tenerife are an endless buffet of tasty morsels for readers who enjoy a bit of trepidation in their science fiction. Thorne's stories are meticulously laced with a perfect concoction of urban legend, scientific precision, and his own edgy yarns to be almost believable, yet far beyond the imaginations of what we know as reality. Anyone who enjoys good fiction with a tinge of daunting possibility should consider Tenerife Tales a must for their reading list."

Reviewer: Autumn Conley is the American author of two novels and many article,s and shorter fiction pieces for a variety of magazines and newspapers and websites.
