"Original, thrilling and utterly gripping - Primal Reserve has more twists and turns than the Amazon River, which kept me on tenterhooks as the action, horror and story unfolded around me. Buy the book, take the ride, you will not be disappointed."
- Ross Jeffery, Bram Stoker award nominated author of Tome

"Dougherty has done it again. Primal Reserve is a thrilling trip into the heart of darkness, a violent and twisted espionage horror, custom-built to excite and unsettle."
- David Sodergren, author of The Forgotten Island

"Primal Reserve is a stay-up-all-night triumph of a novel, a thrilling tale conveyed in lyrical, addictive prose that calls for nothing less than binge-reading. You're going to have a lot of fun with this one. Highly recommended!"
- Brian Bowyer, author of Flesh Rehearsal
