Motivated by her mother's premature death from cancer, Dr. Karen Stiles creates a hybrid creature using genes of a Burmese python and a prehistoric Mosasaur. She just never imagined how violent the hybrid would become.
After her son Rex helps the mutant escape, Karen will stop at nothing to recover what she hopes is the cure her mother never received—even at the risk of her own son. The emotional depth between Rex and his unlikely friend brings an unforgettable climax to this suspenseful tale.

—Larry "Dr. Trek" Nemecek, best-selling author of "The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion," "Star Trek: Stellar Cartography," producer of "The Con of Wrath" documentary, and host/historian based at his Treklandblog.com says:
"Star Trek and sci-fi fans should know: David Orange has come a long way from his Sleepy Klingon days of Star Trek VI, and this venture into "horror with a heart" is a spellbinder with the ignored science undertones of our times. His fourth tale is part "Frankenstein," part "Devil in the Dark"—and all based on a real-world eco-crisis that is truly looming in Florida. Grab it before it grabs you."
Emily-Jane Hills Orford, award-winning author of To Be a Duke, reviewer for Prairie Journal and Writers Who Rock says:
Mutant Specimen L is a powerfully insightful novel into the possibilities of genetic manipulations and mutations. This fast-paced, action/adventure… goes beyond mere science fiction into the realm of speculative fiction, a novel that struggles with basic ethics and causes and probabilities. It is a novel that is devastatingly gruesome and downright scary.
