This is the first in a series of adventure novels that chronicles the exploits of George Kodiak-- cryptozoologist-- as he searches the dark and deadly places of the Earth for animal anomalies such as the Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster. In this premier outing Kodiak becomes the grudging pawn of billionaire Emory Pittman who, believing the Sasquatch is a reality, enlists Kodiak's service in capturing a specimen of this rare animal for his private zoo. Future novels in this series will include the Honey Island Swamp Monster of Louisiana, Ogopogo of Canada, and Mokele-mbembe; the living dinosaur of Central Africa. This series should appeal to anyone who enjoyed "Jurassic Park", "The Lost World", Clive Cussler's "Dirk Pitt" series, or "The X-files". Lee Murphy is a former model maker for the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. He has since free-lanced, specializing in life-size replicas of living and prehistoric beasts. He has spent a decade researching material on the subject of cryptozoology-- the scientific study of hidden and unknown animals-- by the foremost authorities on that subject. This novel is the outcome of his quest. Used Book in Good Condition
