ynopsis

"Shadow of the Jaguar" starts in the Peruvian rainforest, where Cam and Jaime, the sons of a British aristocrat, are out in a biological reserve. They go out at night to relieve themselves but Jaime is killed by an unseen predator and Cam is severely wounded. James Lester is summoned to the house of Sir Charles, father of Cam and Jaime, and asks James whether his team could head out and recover the boys. Lester refuses but later that morning when the rest of the team arrive at the ARC, Sir Charles calls and this time has sent a demand that they go. Lester reluctantly agrees, and while some of the team (Connor particularly) find the entire thing very exciting, the rest of the team are very concerned about the prospect of overseas anomalies. Also, Cutter receives a message from an old student of his working in the reserve who finds that the endangered species resident are fleeing, and the student also finds inexplicable tracks and bones. Cutter, Stephen, Connor, Abby and Jenny fly off to Peru.

When they arrive they discover that a pack of unknown animals have been killing local villagers, and as the team attempt to track down the animals, they discover the presence of vicious Thylacosmilus. The prehistoric creatures are also known to local poachers, who see the creatures as an investement to their business and will do anything to protect it. Even worse, the team discover the Thylacosmilus aren't killing at random, but are in thrall to a more sinister, and far more dangerous predator from the future...
