And then there came .... The Kraken ...... yet another home run by Max Hawthorne. Loved this one, again action was fast paced right till the end of the book, yes there are more adult themes in this book, actual sex scenes.... in an adult book .... the horror ..... anyway I digress. ... if that's not your cup of tea skip them, they do not take anything away from the story and in no way spoiled my enjoyment of a very good book. Please suspend your sensibilities and reality at the door and step into the world of Kronos and Kraken, when man is no longer the most dangerous predator on the planet. Can't wait to see where the next book takes us.

Kronos rising is my new favourite prehistoric monsters in modern day after Jurassic Park. The action keeps up a fast pace through out and I didn't feel the need to skip any "overly scientific" parts. This is a rip roaring work of fiction, yes fiction, I have heard complaints about not following scientific fact but let's get real for a moment, I am not reading a fiction book for fact, if I want fact I will read a scientific journal. I really enjoyed reading this and look forward to reading where this series goes. Highly recommended for all lovers of Jurassic Park/Jaws type of novels.
