Endangered Species

First there was Jurassic Park

Then came Cretaceous Stones

Followed by Dragons of the Great Divide

And now both humans and dinosaurs are Endangered Species . . .

Book 3: The electrifying conclusion of The Cretaceous Chronicles trilogy.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Andy Weir, and James Rollins.

A severed Tyrannosaurus Rex head is delivered to Bryan and Loretta Gilliam at their Montana ranch. Recent photos of them and their three children are spiked on the Rex's teeth. Who is behind the threat and why? Private investigator Mike Mathews is hired to track down the culprits. 

The grisly delivery kicks off the third summer of dinosaurs roaming the Continental Divide in Montana and Idaho. Three families are caught in the middle of the prehistoric invasion. Exotic animal traffickers illegally trap and sell dinosaurs for exorbitant profit. Someone is killing off hunters and trappers. State and federal governments are in a quandary over how to deal with the invading beasts and the crimes they generate.

Endangered Species is at once a science fiction thriller, family saga, crime story, and romance. This high adventure tale twists and turns through a series of shocking events, bringing the Cretaceous Chronicles trilogy to a dramatic conclusion. 

NOTE: Though Endangered Species can be read as a standalone novel, it is best to read series books 1 and 2 (Cretaceous Stones and Dragons of the Great Divide) first to get the full backstory of how Cretaceous period dinosaurs returned to Earth.

Praise for the Cretaceous Chronicles series

In his Cretaceous Chronicles trilogy, Jeff Dennis displays a talent for deftly juggling a large cast of characters—each one sharply drawn—whilst keeping the narrative charging ahead like a herd of frightened brontosaurs. His work is so impeccably researched, you'll wonder if he's been everything from a helicopter pilot to a paleontologist, though the fine details and immersive setting never get in the way of the thoroughly engaging plot.

Highly recommended.
