Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Andy Weir, and James Rollins. Book 2 of the Cretaceous Chronicles trilogy Here is what Amazon readers are saying about Dragons of the Great Divide . . . Now I'm Going to Have to Read the First One"e;I picked up this book not realizing it was the second in a series. Dinosaurs come to Earth in a hail of meteorites--got to love that since it has long been theorized that a great meteor was what caused their extinction in the first place :-) ... What could go wrong, right? This one was a page turner, with the feel of Crichton's Jurassic Park. It definitely made me want to read the first one now."e; ... Beaches and Reads A Dinosaur Adventure with Heart and High Stakes"e;A fast-paced adventure that imagines a modern world suddenly sharing space with dinosaurs. The story mixes thrilling encounters with plenty of human drama, following researchers, pilots, and explorers who are drawn into the danger for different reasons. The characters feel real, with relationships, fears, and ambitions that add depth beyond the action. Between helicopter missions, mysterious disappearances, and close calls with massive prehistoric creatures, the tension rarely lets up. In the end, it's an exciting, imaginative read that blends sci-fi thrills with stories about courage, loyalty, and the risks people take when curiosity and ambition collide."e; ... Melanie Pendleton Especially liked how the book balances high stakes action with very human problems"e;The story throws you back into a modern West stalked by T. rex and other Cretaceous predators, while Hayden and Nora chase new material, a daring pilot risks everything, and a ruthless trafficker turns dinosaurs into a deadly business. Especially liked how the book balances high stakes action with very human problems: marriage stress, family worries, missing Indigenous women, and the price of greed and fame. It is a quick, engaging read that feels like a movie, but still cares deeply about friendship, love, and courage in the face of danger."e; ... Levin It's one year after egg-laden meteorites struck the Continental Divide in Montana and Idaho, hatching out hundreds of Cretaceous dinosaurs. A new summer dawns. Dromaeosaurs, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Triceratops have awakened from their winter hibernation and are on the loose once again. Paleontologists turned dinosaur trackers, Hayden Fowler and Nora Lemoyne, are back, living on the edge and running with the beasts. Bryan and Loretta Gilliam protect their young family from the prehistoric creatures overrunning their ranch. Helicopter pilot Peter Lacroix flies a team of wildlife biologists into Idaho's River of No Return Wilderness area while his wife, Brin, agonizes at home with her baby boy and young daughter. Several Indigenous women, lifelong friends of the Gilliams, disappear off the Blackfeet Indian reservation, and exotic animal traffickers conduct their illegal business. It's a rip-roaring, immersive tale you won't soon forget.
