Extinction was just the beginning…

Sam Brodie, a seasoned game warden, encounters something she never thought possible: a real-life saber-tooth tiger.

For two decades, Sam has never let a poacher get away or come across an animal print she couldn't identify… until she tracks a vicious predator that went extinct in the Ice Age. But when Sam reaches the tiger, she finds herself in the crosshairs of ruthless mercenaries.

As she delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a chilling plot to clone extinct predators for a barbaric "extreme" hunting experience for the wealthy elite. But these cloned creatures are not just replicas; they're bigger, badder, and pose an unparalleled danger to the world's ecological balance.

​With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Sam and her team must race to stop the mastermind before he unleashes his ultimate creation. Will Sam stop him, or will humanity face its own extinction? Join the hunt and find out!

Meet the WASP

The WASP is a three-year task force under the purview of the US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and within the Department of the Interior whose primary responsibility is the rapid response to unidentified, unclassified, obscure, and abnormal fish and wildlife (e.g., cryptids, transgenics, mutations) that may pose a threat to American people or American environments. 

Here are the WASP's field agents, i.e. game wardens: Sam and Murphy. 
Frank Brodie
Sam Brodie is the newest member of the WASP. She's a Wyoming game warden assigned to help solve the saber tooth tiger case. She was brought in due to her perfect service record, tenacity, and the ability to keep an open mind.

Murphy Barnes
Murphy Barnes is a game warden who hails from South Dakota. He was selected for the WASP for his exceptional record as a game warden, his resourcefulness, and for his belief that cryptids are real. 
Think of Sam and Murphy as the X-Files, if Scully and Mulder investigated cryptids and other bizarre, unexplained wildlife and natural phenomena rather than UFOs and aliens. ​
