Book ONE in the award-winning KRONOS RISING series. . . . worthy of sitting on the shelf next to Peter Benchley's JAWS." -Publisher's Weekly/BookLife 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 prehistoric marine predator 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 mystery - 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.
