An Island Called Moreau (Moreau's Other Island)
Aldiss, Brian W
A castaway government
official is stranded on an island of man-made monsters in this bold
reimagining of the H. G. Wells science fiction classic
War
is hell, and the conflict tearing the world apart may be humankind’s
last. Set adrift on a makeshift raft in the middle of the South Pacific,
the sole survivor of a sabotaged space-shuttle flight, undersecretary
of state Calvert Roberts is certain his life is coming to an end. But
fate intervenes, depositing him dehydrated and half starved on the beach
of an uncharted island with a giant M etched into a cliff wall.

At first it appears to be paradise, but Eden has a dark side: Here, Dr.
Mortimer Dart is playing God. A genius geneticist who is certifiably
mad, he is called Master by the unspeakable creations of his
predecessor—monstrous creatures, neither human nor animal but some
nightmarish hybrid.
Yet as horrible as the stranded government official
finds these abominations, it is the truth behind Dart’s experiments that
chill Roberts’s blood—for it will open wide a window onto an
inescapable future of emptiness, ashes, and death.
