This is pretty good writing, a futuristic tale about a computer-developed competitor for the Olympic Games. These computer developed monsters must be genetically engineered. It's a 'monster' created to compete in a non-human event that kicks off the real Olympic Games. This computer developed a very skillful design that took all its competitors and escaped from the enclosure during a battle. It laid eggs and hid them which then had to be found and as the humans tried to kill the creature and eggs, all power was out everywhere and only a few scientists were left trying to kill it.
It's reminiscent of Ancestor by Scott Sigler. He'd probably enjoy reading this as his genetic concoction is from the same type of misplaced altruism or supposed improvement to human genes or a stretch for a new species.
It was very fast paced story line, not overcrowded with personalities. Some twists and turns with surprises here and there. Good reading.
