Devour

It Lurks Deep beneath the ice of the Arctic Circle, something has awakened. A primordial creature frozen in time, it is the oldest, largest, most efficient predator that nature has ever produced. And it is ravenously hungry… It Hunts Thirty-five miles off the Massachussetts coast, a small research ship is attacked. All but one of its crew is killed by the massive serpentine horror that rises from the sea. The creature likes this human prey. The chewy outer hide. The tender saltiness within. And it wants more… It Feeds Responding to a distress signal, fishing-boat captain Brian Hawkins arrives in time to save the ship's last survivor. But the nightmare is just beginning. A casino cruise ship carrying high-stakes passengers--and a top-secret cargo--becomes the creature's bloodsoaked hunting ground. Even the U.S. Navy can't destroy it. Desperate but determined, Hawkins goes after the biggest catch of the century. But there's something he didn't count on: There's more than one… ** About the Author Kurt Anderson has held jobs as a roofer, machine operator, toxicologist, and environmental scientist. A regular contributor to outdoor magazines, Anderson spends his free time in the woods and on the water, hunting, fishing, 'shrooming, wild ricing, tapping maple trees, and trying--usually in vain--to repair haying equipment on his ranch. He lives in northern Minnesota with his wife and two sons.  Devour is his first novel.
