"Steve refused to
surrender. Even though he knew the creature was right behind him, he
wouldn't quit. He would make it. Just as that beacon of hope began to
shine down upon him, the bright sun overhead vanished from view.
Confused, he gazed wide-eyed as the daylight grew dim. Then he realized
the ultimate horror: the creature had overtaken him, its jaws opened
wide."
"He was in its mouth."
A coastal community faces the wrath of a mysterious sea creature in Max Hawthorne's heart pounding new novel, "Kronos Rising."
Devastated by his wife's tragic drowning, Olympic hopeful Jake Braddock turns his
back on fame and fortune and retreats to his childhood home of Paradise
Cove, Florida. He accepts the job of town sheriff, hoping to find the
solace he so desperately craves.
He finds anything but.
A
series of horrifying deaths and disappearances send a flood of panic
through the idyllic town. It is only after the ravaged carcass of a
full-grown whale surfaces, however, that the real terror begins.
Soon Jake finds himself drawn into an ancient-a mystery that ends with him
adrift at sea, battling for survival against the deadliest predator the
world has ever seen. It is a creature whose ancestors ruled the
prehistoric seas. Now freed after eons of imprisonment, it has risen to
reclaim the oceans of the world as its own.
And it's hungry.
