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 . . .
