Theodore Roosevelt and the
Hunt for the Liopleurodon
Liopleurodon ferox was the deadliest sea predator of all time, the king of the Jurassic Ocean. This whale-sized reptile's return to the early twentieth century triggers a geopolitical crisis in this new historical science fiction thriller.
Former President Theodore Roosevelt foresees the threat the Liopleurodon would pose if it falls into the wrong hands. The race is on as Roosevelt leads the American effort to destroy it before the Kaiser's Germany can turn it into a weapon.

"The storyline itself was superb ---- A Jaws/Jurassic Park thriller and a bit of a spy novel all in one - and compelling."
-The Historical Fiction Company
​
"Throughout the novel, Roosevelt was a great big hoot. Always larger than life, he commanded the narrative and chewed up the scenery in the best possible way... As a reader, I was onboard too. In fact, the finale made me a little sad. 'Why can't reality be as exciting as this?' I thought to myself as I shut down my Kindle for the night."
-Review from The Monster Book Club
​
​"Theodore Roosevelt thought he’d left the battlefield behind—but the greatest hunt of his life was still ahead. In the wake of personal loss and political betrayal, Roosevelt embarks on a perilous expedition deep into the uncharted wilds, where myth bleeds into reality and nature hides ancient, monstrous secrets. He becomes a weathered elder mentor to a young man who is driven by the ghosts of his past and confronts not just the legendary liopleurodon but the darker forces within himself. What begins as a bold adventure becomes a reckoning—one that tests their ideals, legacy, and the line between man and beast. Part political thriller, part survival epic, this is a coming-of-age tale."
