This book is perfect to snuggle up and share with a child, as the beautiful illustrations really capture a child's attention.">From Max Hawthorne, the "Prince of Paleofiction" and author of the award-winning Kronos Rising series, comes an endearing Christmas tale about a lonely child whose life is turned around by, of all things, a dinosaur! Young Billy lives with his parents in the country. It's almost Christmas, his favorite time of year, but Billy is sad. His pet iguana has gone missing, his dad is away on yet another business trip, and he has to protect his friend Javier from bullies at the bus stop every morning. But things are about to change for Billy. Up at the North Pole, Santa is dealing with an unexpected guest: a mischievous baby Tyrannosaurus rex named Tyron. When the elves are no longer able to handle the young dinosaur, Santa's head elf, Xavier, decides to give the baby T-rex to a very deserving child: Billy! Filled with incredible illustrations, a touching story bound to bring a smile to one's face, and a strong anti-bullying message to boot, I Want a Tyrannosaurus for Christmas is sure to be a perennial favorite! "A fun, sentimental, and beautifully illustrated romp for any kid who loves dinosaurs--which is all of them! I wish I'd had this book when I was a budding 6-year-old paleontologist. I would've read it to pieces." >
AUTHORSdb 2017 Gold Medal Winner (novella) KRONOS RISING: PLAGUE is the gut-wrenching horror novella that bridges the gap between Amazon's #1 bestselling author Max Hawthorne's debut novel, Kronos Rising, and the Kronos Rising: Kraken trilogy. It's Jurassic Park meets The Walking Dead. How fast can you run? THE DEADLIEST KILLERS ARE THE ONES YOU CAN'T SEE. Three weeks have passed since the monstrous Kronosaurus imperator's attack on Harcourt Marina stunned the world. The death toll was horrific, but Paradise Cove's traumatized survivors soon discover they have more to worry about than just burying their dead and rebuilding their shattered lives. Accompanying the pliosaur were hordes of primeval pathogens. With their host destroyed, the Cretaceous-era bacteria are forced to find new homes for themselves. They do: tiny, bipedal life forms whose warm, iron-rich blood provides perfect growing conditions. They begin to multiply and spread, their mutagenic qualities quickly warping their unwitting host's delicate bodies and minds. Soon, the infected are transformed into mindless beasts, consumed with a burning hunger for flesh. And like all ravening beasts, they must feed . . . If you're fans of dinosaur books for adults like Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park and Lost World, must read adventure books like Greig Beck's To the Center of the Earth series, or amazing action stories a la Steve Alten's Meg franchise, you're going to LOVE the Kronos Rising series!

Having tracked a mortally wounded Sam Mot back to the Tube's entrance, the revenge-obsessed Octopus giganteus female launches a ferocious assault on the submarine base. Its goal is to slaughter every living thing, including the facility's caged pliosaurs. As Tartarus's woefully inadequate security forces engage the invading Kraken, an oblivious Dirk Braddock watches in horror as his body succumbs to the most virulent Cretaceous cancer strain of all - the one that destroyed his father. While Dirk fights for his very soul, an infuriated Captain Natalya Dragunova arrives in Tartarus, armed and looking for payback. She plans to avenge her murdered crew and, per Garm Braddock's last wishes, rescue his brother Dirk in the process. Unfortunately, the tough-as-nails sub commander has no idea what she's walking into. Nefarious forces are waiting to put an end to her and everyone she cares about. Soon, she and Tartarus's beleaguered survivors will be forced to confront the base's most terrifying secret: a weapon designed to bring mankind's tenuous mastery of the planet to an abrupt and apocalyptic end. And around every corner, the Kraken waits. Kronosaurus is back in . . . the Kronos Rising series!
