Thought extinct during the last ice age, a predator has continued to thrive in the shadow of man and has remained undiscovered in the isolated forests of central Canada. In a quest for a new and distant territory, a young pack of carnivores settles in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. With a busy summer tourist season underway, Sam, a resident bear biologist, is thrown into a tangle of puzzling deaths and disappearances.

Man is no longer a threat. Man is food. It has always lived among us, its existence unknown or long forgotten. After a long and brutal winter, this opportunistic predator has finally awoken. Driven by hunger and forced from its territory in search of food, it leaves Wyoming’s Wind River Range for a small, sleepy town. Jim Wendell, the Pine Creek Game and Fish warden receives the task of taking down this creature.

Years after dire wolves disrupted a busy summer season in Yellowstone National Park and a short-faced bear hunted the residents in Pine Creek, a new, highly adaptable predator emerged from the thick forests on the outskirts of a small Wyoming town.

After Jim Wendell’s terrifying encounter with the bear in Arctodus, he visited his neighbor, Walter. The elderly gentleman kept his promise to share a story from his childhood. What is the meaning of several curious items in a living room cabinet? Jim will soon find out.

Colton Cross thought he’d left the shadows behind. For years, he’s lived the perfect cover: a devoted husband, a loving father, a respected small business owner in Knoxville. But beneath the surface lies a man forged in the crucible of war, whose lethal skills once defined him. And when the phone rings late one night, the facade begins to crack.

In the mid-19th century, millions of Europeans, particularly from the German-speaking regions, dreamed of emigrating to the United States. But they could only dream of what it would be like to emigrate to America, because there were no photographs or movies at the time, and so their dreams were often unrealistic and based on the wondrous and often fantastical tales told to them by land agents and ship companies. Friedrich Gerstäcker, a German adventurer and prolific novelist who was born in Hamburg in 1816, began traveling in his early 20s and made his first trip to North America in 1837.
