Variety: Producer pieces FRAGMENT July 19, 2010 Levin to adapt sci-fi novel for big screen Lloyd Levin (THE GREEN ZONE, WATCHMEN, UNITED 93) is set to produce the big screen adaptation of Warren Fahy's bestseller FRAGMENT. Mass market paperback edition of Warren Fahy's FRAGMENT On Sale Now!     "Few debuts are as explosive as Warren Fahy's FRAGMENT, a story of evolutionary horror that leaps off the page and grabs for your throat. Think JURASSIC PARK on steroids. This is one helluva ride!" —James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of THE LAST ORACLE   The Wall Street Journal "Hang on to your hats! Mr. Fahy takes readers on a wild ride through a parallel universe where evolution has run amok—think JURASSIC PARK but scarier."—Cynthia Crossen and Helen Rogan   The New York Times "How would you update JURASSIC PARK for 2009? Add reality television. The vessel Trident is on a yearlong global journey for a reality show called SeaLife (think of Deadliest Catch with scientists) when the boat picks up an emergency beacon coming from Henders Island, a speck in the South Pacific that has been visited only once, by the British sea captain whose name it bears. Nell Duckworth, the Trident’s botanist, has been intrigued by Henders for years, and she sees her chance to do some real research. Cynthea Leeds, the producer of SeaLife, is just hoping for a little drama—and maybe romance too. They both get more than they bargained for." —Amy Virshup   Dallas Morning News “The mayhem that ensues makes reality seem tepid and showcases the talents of a new novelist with a flair for forward-charging narrative. The details seem brilliantly researched, and the observations could be those of a sharp-minded student of biology. Whether Warren Fahy can pick up the torch once carried by the late Michael Crichton remains to be seen, but FRAGMENT is great for starters.” —Alan Cheuse, NPR book reviewer   The Speed of Write "…take a tiny fragment of reality, topple it over into the great unknown and you’ll have no idea what hit you. It’s what made books like JURASSIC PARK so great. I look forward to whatever Warren Fahy has planned next." —Maria   SF Site "FRAGMENT is an entertaining read, filled with deliciously gruesome, fascinating critters, a few genuinely intriguing scientific questions, and more action than all of the JURASSIC PARK material put together." —Nathan Brazil   SF Reviews.net "FRAGMENT mops the floor with JURASSIC PARK in its best moments and puts it to shame completely when it comes to lending scientific plausibility to its premise." —Thomas M. Wagner   SF Crowsnest.com "The astounding complexity of the island's wildlife and the methods used to explore and catalogue it make this an intriguing story with plenty of JURASSIC PARK moments to keep you on the edge of the seat." —Gareth D. Jones   Bookreporter.com "First-time novelist Warren Fahy seems poised to fill Crichton’s shoes with a novel that keeps readers on the edge of their seats even as it explains provocative theories about such topics as the evolutionary role of natural lifespans and the surprising relationship between sexual reproduction and evolution." —Norah Piehl   NewsBlaze.com "FRAGMENT is a page-turner which will keep the reader engrossed and wanting more. Finishing with a flourish, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended and a great read for Sci-Fi enthusiasts."—Clark Isaacs   BBC Focus "...this is a cracking good holiday read, a fast-paced airport novel that never insults your intelligence."   SoundCommentary.com "Although I'm not usually a science fiction fan, this book grabbed me right from the beginning, probably because it seems so plausible. I see a movie with fantastic opportunities for special effects geniuses."   IndieBound.org "If you are looking for an heir to Michael Crichton, look no further than Warren Fahy. This gruesome and fascinating debut highlights cutting-edge science and time-tested action as we go exploring the genetic cesspool that is Henders Island. A great summer read." —Katie Glasgow, Mitchell Books, Fort Wayne, IN   FRAGMENT Publishers Weekly (starred review)    More FRAGMENT reviews
