Prehistoric creatures have again invaded Crater Lake National Park …and this time there’s more than one. Henry Shore has been Chief Park Ranger at Crater Lake National Park for thirteen years now and thought the days when he’d had to fight a rogue dinosaur that lived in the caves below the lake were long over. Until one of his park rangers, to save a visitor’s life, is in a deadly struggle out in the woods with a new breed of dinosaur worse than the last one. It’s as big as a man, but this one is a young one. And growing. Then more of the creatures begin to show up everywhere, threatening people and destroying the tranquility and safety of his beloved park. A tourist trolley filled with fifteen people is snatched up off the crater’s rim by another version of the younger one…but this one has grown into a giant with fangs, claws and a deadly tail. And this one has wings. Ugly Gargoyles, Henry calls them. For this one isn’t alone. They’re flying beyond the park’s boundaries into the neighboring towns. So Henry, with the help of his son-in-law, a paleontologist named Justin, and a band of brave park rangers, and a few good soldiers, must not only protect his park and his people from monsters once more but find their lair and destroy it and them before the creatures kill again. *** Dinosaur, Crater Lake, Klamath Falls, thriller, suspense, horror, SF, romance, paleontologist, mystery, paleontology dig, Kathryn Meyer Griffith, Jurassic Park

Henry Shore has spent the last decade hunting for, fighting, protecting people from, and exterminating rogue dinosaurs in and around his beloved Crater Lake National Park, and the towns around it. Once the Chief Park Ranger there, now he’s retired and, since all the dinosaurs are supposedly gone, he’s trying to live his best retirement life. Except, for Henry, that doesn’t seem to be possible…because of a new sorrow he’s had to shoulder, and a new insidious breed of super-smart, highly intuitive dinosaurs that have suddenly emerged to again menace humanity. Henry is asked to track them down; and he’s dragged back into the fray. Besides being asked to battle this new threat, Henry has also been invited by his paleontologist son-in-law, Doctor Justin Maltin, to join a top-secret government team of research scientists at Area 52 investigating the original and apparently ancient origins, of the earth’s earlier plague of dinosaurs–and two mysterious alien spaceships stored there. What Henry becomes a part of turns out to be so much more than even he could have imagined. A true alien enigma. There’s something mysteriously mindboggling at Area 52 and Henry will help uncover its mystery, and, in doing so, will have the most incredible experience of his life–and that’s saying a lot for a seasoned dinosaur hunter. *There are six Dinosaur Lake books.

The Fifth Dinosaur Lake Book: The predatory dinosaurs, amphibious, land-crawlers, air flyers, small and large, were dead; dead in all the forests, mountains, deserts, towns and cities of America and across the planet. They were still hunted, sought and exterminated when found, and these rogue beasts were becoming rarer every day. The humans’ dinosaur killing serum and extermination practices had worked far better than anyone had prayed and they had eventually freed the planet of its primordial scourge. The earth belonged to the humans once more and all its lands were safe–or so the world, Henry Shore, former Chief Park Ranger at Crater Lake National Park, and his wife, Ann, had believed…until one day years later two new dinosaurs, craftier than any the earth had ever seen, appeared. One of them was benevolent, a friend to mankind, and the other was not. It was blood-thirsty, eerily intelligent and unbelievably vengeful. This dinosaur wouldn’t be so easy to kill. *** Dinosaur Lake V: Survivors is the fifth book in the Dinosaur Lake series by Kathryn Meyer Griffith.

Ex-Park Chief Ranger Henry Shore has had his share of adventures and trials. But for many years he had a good life with his wife, Ann, and his daughter, Laura, being Chief Ranger at Crater Lake National Park. His life was perfect. Then the dinosaurs came. With his rangers, he fought the prehistoric beasts for years in his park; while outside the world also battled the malevolent creatures. He had one friend among the dinosaurs, little Oscar, who helped him, and the other humans, to fight and survive the dinosaur wars; during them he lost his daughter. These days Henry is recovering from the loss of his beloved wife, Ann, and trying to find purpose in his new lonely life. The year before he’d been temporarily rescued from that sorrow by being drafted, as a renowned dinosaur hunter and expert, to help track down some of the last remaining rogue dinosaurs in the country, and then later, two of the wilier creatures loose and causing havoc at the government’s secret Area 52. Area 52, where two mysterious ancient alien spaceships were housed and examined by a team of our scientists. Alien ships somehow suspected of being connected to the world’s previous dinosaur scourge because of the ancient dinosaur DNA discovered in their labs. That assignment ended abruptly for Henry when the two alien aircrafts mysteriously vanished. Now Henry is home again, and at loose ends. But when so many new menacing extraterrestrial spacecrafts begin to appear in Earth’s air spaces, and the alien abductions multiply, Henry is drafted yet again to help. For fear has rapidly spread across the world as more and more alien airships are sighted everywhere. Why are so many alien ships suddenly harassing our planet, and what do they want? It won’t take long before the world, with Henry and an old friend’s help, find out. Then they have to figure out how to appease the aliens, or the Earth could be doomed.

Chief Ranger Henry Shore once fought the lethal infestation of prehistoric dinosaurs in his beloved Crater Lake National Park. The first monster, which he called Godzilla, then the flying nightmares, the Gargoyles, then the small evil dinosaurs, and finally One-Eye and its twin. With his wife, Ann, his rangers, and his friends he eliminated the blood-thirsty beasts not only in his park, but over time in many other places. From the beginning of the dinosaur wars he was befriended by a small, intelligent telepathic dinosaur he affectionately named Oscar. Oscar was a benevolent creature who believed humans, the ‘sticks’ as he thought of them, were his friends, too. Oscar saved Henry’s life, and others, many times. Truth be told, Oscar actually saved the world when sinister aliens unexpectedly arrived, and wanted to annihilate mankind because of our murderous, warlike tendencies; how humanity had never been able to live in peace. Oscar telepathically communicated to the aliens in our defense–and humanity was given one final chance–an ominous warning–to learn to live together. Live together in peace or die. Or the aliens would return and end our species forever. Now Oscar, and his expanding family, need Henry’s help. They’d been living happily deep in the backwoods of Crater Lake Park, hidden from human eyes and malicious human interference, when the out-of-control wildfire flushes them from their safe haven…and they end up in Crater Lake. Of course, they can’t remain there. They’d be seen, discovered. Exploited or hunted to extinction because people still feared and loathed dinosaurs because of how many humans they’d slaughtered during their bloody reign. But, aside from Henry’s love of Oscar, the Oscars’ survival is crucial if the aliens ever return, so Henry and his paleontologist son-in-law, Justin, must lead the horde away from the lake to a new safe home in another isolated section of the park. They must protect the Oscars. But one infant dinosaur has been left behind, and in saving that little dinosaur, returning it to Oscar and its family, Henry almost pays the ultimate price…but Henry would do anything for Oscar. After all, Oscar would–and had many times–saved Henry’s life; he saved the planet as well. So Henry, and Earth, are undeniably and forever indebted to the small dinosaur.

For seven long years Chief Park Ranger Henry Shore has been dealing with and fighting anachronistic dinosaurs in his beloved Crater Lake National Park and in the surrounding town of Klamath Falls. It began with one lone leviathan, the one he tongue-in-cheek called Godzilla. Henry and his band of heroes defeated it but others followed: the flying varieties he named gargoyles, the mutant T-Rexes and roaming velociraptors that were so much smarter than their ancient ancestors. He, his rangers and the National Guard soldiers, fought all of them, but still the dinosaurs, cunningly destructive and blood-thirsty, kept coming. No one knew where they came from or what the future would now hold for a besieged humanity, they only knew the monsters were spreading like a voracious wildfire and had to be stopped before they ravaged the world. Eventually, he and his wife, Ann, their family and friends, retreated into a fortified ranger headquarters where they continued to battle the proliferating dinosaurs. Will Henry’s son-in-law, Doctor Justin Maltin, a brilliant paleontologist, find a way to exterminate the creatures and save them…save the world? And, more importantly, would he be able to do it in time? Dinosaur Lake IV Dinosaur Wars is the fourth and final book of the Dinosaur Lake series.

For suddenly across the park new and even more malevolent mutant species of dinosaur begin to appear and create havoc, attacking the park’s visitors and threatening its peace. And this time the primeval scourge isn’t confined to just their park. The creatures have moved into the nearby towns, across the western United States and up into Canada. They are so much more aggressive, smarter and hungrier than any that have come before and the infestation is spreading further and faster than Henry and Ann can even imagine. This time there’s no easy way to defeat the dinosaurs. There’s too many of them and they’re too devious. This time it’s full out war and the victor will someday claim Earth. **8 Dinosaur, Crater Lake, Klamath Falls, thriller, suspense, horror, SF, romance, paleontologist, mystery, paleontology dig, Kathryn Meyer Griffith, Jurassic Park
