Behemoth

Lost Civilization #5 / 7
by Vaughn Heppner
Behemoth (Lost Civilization #5) by Vaughn Heppner
not yet rated

Desiring an invincible beast for his host, Gog sends his offspring Dagon to the Sea of Nur. Dagon has one goal: tame the fabled Behemoth and return it to Shamgar. But the mightiest beast of all lives in the shadow of a lost celestial power and in the primitive lands of the Rovian. The journey will surely tax even those of the blood.

Seeking their defeat is Lod, a white-bearded swordsman with burning blue eyes, his frame a twisted mass of muscle from twenty long years as an oar-slave. Lod is driven by his visions, and this is to be the battle of his life.

BEHEMOTH is the second book of the Lod Cycle and the fifth novel in Lost Civilizations. It is the tale of man versus monster and iron versus sorcery. It occurs in the days before the oceans overran the Pre-Cataclysmic World. BEHEMOTH is a fantasy novel by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.

Vaughn Heppner

Vaughn Heppner's love for storytelling started in the snowbanks of Canada, where his childhood days were filled with dreams of distant worlds and adventures beyond his frosty front yard. But it wasn’t until a move to sunny Central California that his journey into writing truly began, fueled by an unexpected gift—his very first typewriter. Heppner found himself typing away in early mornings, crafting stories that echoed the same sense of wonder he’d experienced as a child, searching for magic in everyday moments.

It wasn’t long before he dove headfirst into writing full-time, blending his passion for science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. His most well-known works, such as the Lost Starship series, take readers on thrilling intergalactic journeys where humanity’s survival is never guaranteed, and where the characters are as complex as the alien worlds they explore. With an impressive portfolio spanning multiple genres, Heppner’s stories often strike a delicate balance between pulse-pounding action and profound character development.

Heppner's writing is not just about grand battles and high-tech spaceships—it’s about the people behind the machines and the way they struggle, grow, and find purpose in the most chaotic of circumstances. With every novel, Heppner invites readers into universes that are both alien and deeply human. Whether navigating the stars or exploring the depths of the human psyche, his work captures the essence of what it means to face the unknown with courage, and at times, with sacrifice.

When he’s not penning his next great adventure, Heppner can be found enjoying the natural beauty of the world around him, reflecting on his varied experiences. With each new book, Vaughn Heppner reminds us that the greatest journeys are the ones that take us beyond our wildest dreams—and into the very heart of what it means to be human.

From The Lost Starship to his numerous other series, Heppner's work continues to captivate and transport readers to places only he could imagine.
