After 65 Million years, the world's greatest predator is back....
Inconsolable after his wife’s tragic death, former Olympic hopeful Jake Braddock turns his back on fame and fortune and flees to the quiet coastal community of Paradise Cove, in the hopes of finding peace.
He finds anything but.
The ravaged carcass of a full grown whale is just the beginning. Soon, the young sheriff finds himself investigating a series of horrifying deaths. It is an investigation that ends with him adrift at sea, surrounded by enemies and struggling to survive against the deadliest predator the world has ever seen.
It is a creature whose ancestors ruled the prehistoric seas. Now released
after eons of imprisonment, it has returned to reclaim the oceans of the world
as its own.
And it’s hungry.

"Until today, the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean remained an impossible mystery. But no more -- a violent earthquake has finally unleashed a wonderfully horrific secret waiting to eat you alive. From the opening scene of black market shark hunters invading forbidden waters, Kronos Rising sweeps you onto a surprising, wildly inventive thrill ride. A fabulous debut by David E. Spletzer. Simply put, it's got teeth. Big ones!"
Screenwriter
"A word to the wise: if you bite your nails, you'd better wear oven mitts when reading Kronos Rising. It will drag you down to the depths of fear and take you back for a breath of air as fast as you can turn the pages. Readers beware: a new master of marine terror is coming to your bookstore, and his name is David E. Spletzer!"
NY Times Best Selling author of "THE BOSS"
"I just finished reading the first chapter, and I have to say I am a little angry I have to wait for the rest of the book. It has been some time since a book has grabbed my interest so quickly and completely. The character development is fantastic and the action is matched only by its ability to create suspense. The author is skilled at describing the language of boats and the ocean in a way that everyone feels like a veteran seafarer. I can't wait for the rest of this modern day Moby Dick!"
Dean of English, LHS
"David Spletzer explores the sinister side of the dark abyssal world with a new kind of beast, one that makes white sharks and giant squid as threatening as guppies and tadpoles."
