KRONOS RISING: KRAKEN (VOL. 1) by Max Hawthorne April 24, 2016
30 years have passed since the destruction of Paradise Cove. Since then, pliosaurs the size of whales have wreaked havoc on the world’s oceans. Despite suffering tragic losses, Garm Braddock and his brother Dirk wage a bloody war of attrition against the voracious marine reptiles: Garm from the helm of the anti-biologic submarine Gryphon and his brother from the top-secret military research facility known as TARTARUS.
In spite of ongoing attempts to destroy them, the prehistoric predators that rose from the ashes of Diablo Caldera continue to multiply. They are bringers of death, and via more than just their deadly jaws. Their blood contains a primeval pathogen so virulent that, left unchecked, could spell the end of mammalian life.
Meanwhile, in the icy darkness of the deep, an evil as ancient as the dinosaurs stirs in response to the changes in Earth’s oceans. Rising hungrily to the surface, it brings with it an intellect as cold as the abyss and an irrepressible need to destroy and devour.
And conquer.
Enjoyed your first book very much and can not wait to read this one as well
I thoroughly enjoyed your first book, and got the local library to order a copy, and it because a big hit and they ordered more copies. Can’t wait for this one!!
Your first book suprised me. It surpassed all my expectations and I did not want the book to end. Excellent book and cannot wait till your new book comes out.

When does volume 2 come out?
Hi Tania. We currently have Max’s next novel, Kronos Rising: Kraken – vol. 2 slated for an April 2017 release date – or “unleash date”, as we like to say. We hope you enjoyed the first two books in the series.

When is Kronos Rising: Kraken Vol. 2 going to be released? I am getting anxious just waiting for it! Lol
Hi Carl,
I’ve been juggling multiple projects, including some exciting new paleo-discoveries, so I can’t give you a formal date yet. I know waiting is hard, especially when you’re chafing for the second half of a story… Have you read Diablo and Plague already? 3 books in less than 12 months, so productivity-wise, we’re on point. Hang in there!
Best,
Max
Max, thank you for your reply! I have! I read those both after reading Kraken. I’ll keep being patient waiting for Volume 2! Is there any way I can buy a signed copy of Kronos Rising?
As strange as it may sound, Carl, I’m not in the business of “selling” books – signed or otherwise. I only write them, I don’t do the retail end of things. Occasionally, I get ARC’s or copies of published novels to sign and give away as prizes, but that’s uncommon. It looks like I will be doing some signings later this year. If one is near you you’re welcome to stop by with your copy of KR for me to sign, or you can pick up one from the hosting merchant in person to be signed there if that’s preferable.
Best,
Max
Loved Kraken Volume One, do you know when Volume Two will be released?
Hi Solun. Glad you enjoyed book two in the series. If you haven’t checked them out yet, make sure you read Diablo and Plague – major bearing on the next book. Lots of excitement coming!
Best,
Max
Dear Max, absolutely loving the series so far. Just to add to the clamour for Kraken volume 2, any idea when this might be? Really looking forward to it. All the best, Mark
