Product Description

For eleven thousand years they've been sleeping. The first victims are found torn to pieces in the hills of Santa Barbara. Authorities believe it's the grisly work of a serial murderer who kills with a feral, inhuman instinct. They're half right. Anthropologist Jim Grand knows the truth. Reporter Hannah Hughes fears it.For eleven thousand years they've been developing an appetite. Awakened from a cryogenic slumber deep in the cold, dark caves of Southern California, a carnivorous, prehistoric terror has emerged. Grand calls it fatalis. History calls it the saber-tooth tiger. They've returned with only one purpose: to eat.And nothing in eleven thousand years can stop them.With each new dawn they crawl closer to civilization. Closer to the scent of their ultimate-and powerless-prey. The battle between past and present, between man and beast has been waged. And God help the loser...AUTHORBIO: Jeff Rovin is the New York Times bestselling author of Vespers.
