BLOOD ON THE BADLANDS: A Dinosaur Frontier Novel: 1

The earthquake lasts less than a minute. What it wakes will not stop.When the canyon floor beside Fort Carver gives way, it doesn't just crack the earth. It breaks a seal nobody in the New Mexico Territory knew existed, and what climbs out of that canyon doesn't hunt like anything Caleb Holt has ever tracked.Caleb has spent three years riding down the man who murdered his wife and son. The trail ends at a fort that is already dying: a frontier doctor carrying more guilt than medicine, a woman hunting the same man for reasons of her own, a chained prisoner more decent than anyone expects, a Chiricahua watcher who understands exactly what the canyon let loose, a preacher losing his certainties by the hour, and a six-year-old girl nobody quite knows what to do with.Raptors probe the walls by night, counting the doors. Something far bigger is moving out in the dark. And the helpful stranger who rode in to share the danger may be the most dangerous thing inside the fort.Revenge, survival and teeth in the 1870s badlands. BLOOD ON THE BADLANDS is Book 1 of Talon Country, a dinosaur Western series where the land keeps older, hungrier secrets than any map. Each novel stands on its own with a new cast. The story continues in BLOOD ON THE RAILS.
