It's Jurassic Park meets The Walking Dead . How fast can you run? THE DEADLIEST KILLERS ARE THE ONES YOU CAN'T SEE. Three weeks have passed since the monstrous Kronosaurus imperator’s attack on Harcourt Marina stunned the world. The death toll was horrific, but Paradise Cove’s traumatized survivors soon discover they have more to worry about than just burying their dead and rebuilding their shattered lives. Accompanying the pliosaur were hordes of primeval pathogens. With their host destroyed, the Cretaceous-era bacteria are forced to find new homes for themselves. They do: tiny, bipedal life forms whose warm, iron-rich blood provides perfect growing conditions. They begin to multiply and spread, their mutagenic qualities quickly warping their unwitting host’s delicate bodies and minds. Soon, the infected are transformed into mindless beasts, consumed with a burning hunger for flesh. And like all ravening beasts, they must feed . . . If you're fans of dinosaur books for adults like Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park and Lost World, must read adventure books like Greig Beck's To the Center of the Earth series, or amazing action stories a la Steve Alten's Meg franchise, you're going to LOVE the Kronos Rising series! Review: Two good, short Kronos backstories - This book actually contained two short stories, each about 60 pages: Plague (which takes place between _Kronos Rising_ and the first _Kraken_ book) and Diablo (which takes place before all other books in the series.) Plague details some sort of disease which hits the town, while Diablo gives some history on that remote island/place. Both were fairly short and easy to read, and prepped me for the next book (the third _Kraken_ book.) They were well-written and fun, filling in backstories relevant to the main books. Review: Really well written, must read for Kronos fans. - Max Hawthorne never ceases to amaze me. His writing continues to be top notch along with story telling. Honestly the combo book of Plague and Diablo may be one of my favorites, on par with the original Kronos Rising Max delves into the world of disease and its great. I love the world he is building and hope to get some more stories like this! 8.4/10.0 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,041,880 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #689 in Sea Adventures Fiction (Books) #14,018 in Science Fiction Adventures #28,188 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 555 Reviews | ## Images ![Kronos Rising: Plague - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715E0OrUlwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two good, short Kronos backstories *by T***S on February 11, 2021* This book actually contained two short stories, each about 60 pages: Plague (which takes place between _Kronos Rising_ and the first _Kraken_ book) and Diablo (which takes place before all other books in the series.)

His writing continues to be top notch along with story telling. Honestly the combo book of Plague and Diablo may be one of my favorites, on par with the original Kronos Rising Max delves into the world of disease and its great. I love the world he is building and hope to get some more stories like this! 8.4/10.0 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ familiar characters like Jake Braddock and Amara Nakamura make a welcome return *by S***S on December 5, 2016* The latest embroidery on the Kronos Rising tapestry takes us in still a new direction than the previous installments, this one somewhat approaching the opening chapters of The Stand, in which a nasty plague of Biblical proportions begins with horrific consequences. The "Cretaceous Cancer" creates victims that remind this reader of the possessed Regan MacNeil in the Exorcist: diseased and twisted, insane but with a superhuman strength. Set during the events of the first KR novel, familiar characters like Jake Braddock and Amara Nakamura make a welcome return. The writing is on par with classic Stephen King and William Peter Blatty, not Harold Robbins like another tired "sea monster" series has become. I very much enjoyed this and the ending is eerily similar to real events that happened in Miami a few years back (but this was written years before). I highly recommend this worthy addition to the KR series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51296742-kronos-rising-plague](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51296742-kronos-rising-plague) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
