For eleven thousand years they've been sleeping: The first victims are found torn to pieces in the hills of Santa Barbara. Authorities believe it's the grisly work of a serial murderer who kills with a feral, inhuman instinct. They're half - right. Anthropologist Jim Grand knows the truth. Reporter Hannah Hughes fears it. For eleven thousand years they've been developing an appetite: Awakened from a cryogenic slumber deep in the cold, dark caves of southern California, a carnivorous, prehistoric terror has emerged. Grand calls it fatalis. History calls it the saber - tooth cat. They've returned with only one purpose: to eat. And nothing in eleven thousand years can stop them: With each new dawn they crawl closer to civilisation. Closer to the scent of their ultimate - and powerless - prey. The battle between past and present, between man and beast has been waged. And God help the loser...

Seller: Barclay Books, York, WA, Australia
Paperback. Condition: 2001. A near fine copy. The two luminescent eyes watched the long, deserted roadway from low on the gusty promontory. Moist and dark, like large oily pearls, the eyes shifted and widened almost imperceptibly at every movement a hundred feet below. They roamed among the dim lights and deep shadows, the tall waves of the sea beyond, the dark beach, the large sea animals that broke the surface in the distance, the night birds that soared and hovered above the rocks, the flat clouds, the misty raindrops, the signposts rattling in the wind. Most of these things were familiar; a few were not. But new or old, it was a world of constant movement, a world where any motion could be enemy or prey. Which was why the eyes missed nothing. Nor did the ears, which were shaped like gold tulip petals. It froze as the scent came suddenly, from the north.The black eyes were met by other black eyes and they all began to move.Quickly and silently they slid through the brush and stones.commanding the foothills simply by moving through them. The smell of the prey was different, the speed was greater than they had seen, but the size was familiar. They knew just what to do. --From Fatalis. Seller Inventory # 13786556
