30 years have passed since the destruction of Paradise Cove. Since then, pliosaurs the size of whales have wreaked havoc on the world’s oceans. Despite tragic losses, Garm Braddock and his brother Dirk wage a bloody war of attrition against the voracious marine reptiles: Garm from the helm of the anti-biologic submarine Gryphon and his brother from the top-secret military research facility known as Tartarus.

In spite of ongoing attempts to destroy them, the prehistoric predators that rose from the ashes of Diablo Caldera continue to multiply. They are bringers of death, and via more than just their deadly jaws. Their blood contains a primeval pathogen so virulent that, left unchecked, could spell the end of mammalian life.

Meanwhile, in the icy darkness of the deep, an evil as ancient as the dinosaurs stirs in response to the changes in Earth’s oceans. Rising hungrily to the surface, it brings with it an intellect as cold as the abyss and an irrepressible need to destroy and devour.

And conquer.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10/10

And then there came .... The Kraken ...... yet another home run by Max Hawthorne. Loved this one, again action was fast paced right till the end of the book, yes there are more adult themes in this book, actual sex scenes.... in an adult book .... the horror ..... anyway I digress. ... if that's not your cup of tea skip them, they do not take anything away from the story and in no way spoiled my enjoyment of a very good book. Please suspend your sensibilities and reality at the door and step into the world of Kronos and Kraken, when man is no longer the most dangerous predator on the planet. Can't wait to see where the next book takes us.
