From the author of Pacific Rising.

Jurassic War is an action-packed novel of special operations during WWII in the Pacific Theater. U.S. Marines land on a remote atoll to carry out a seek and destroy mission. They encounter Japanese infantrymen, and the Raiders must also overcome deadly indigenous wildlife. Dinosaurs have not become extinct in all parts of the uncharted world. Ripped from historical accounts of the Raid on Makin Island, this book provides a close examination of Raider training and tactics. A man verse man, and human verse beast struggle, Jurassic War opens with force and steamrolls to the ending like a locomotive.

This novel by John W. Dennehy follows great critical reception for his prior books Clockwork Universe and Pacific Rising. Many of his stories have been featured in leading pulp magazines, such as Crimson Streets, Disturbed Digest, Beyond Science Fiction, SQ Mag, and Weirdbook. His story “Ancient Ruins” was published in SNAFU: Wolves at the Door. The SNAFU anthology series has been commended by Tim Miller, director of Deadpool and creator of Love, Death + Robots, which features a few shorts based upon stories in the SNAFU series.

Meanwhile, a Navy SEAL operation is underway in North Korea, with a mission to disable an old Soviet missile. After conventional weapons fail to stymie the destructive beast, leaders turn to Penton as a last-ditch effort to thwart the Kaiju, and prevent further death and devastation.
