Publisher's summary

Book 1 of the Smilodon trilogy

Imagine re-creating the saber-toothed cat for fun? The possibility sounds exciting, but the reality could be nightmarish. In James Paddock's new novel, Smilodon, the main character is drawn into in a world where man becomes the hunted. It is fast-paced fiction, where cats change the rules and people run for their lives.

Tigers in the wild and a lucrative fee lure freelance writer Zechariah Price into the frozen mountains of Montana. The assignment drops him into a world of Bengal tigers, illegal aliens, prehistoric saber-toothed cats, and psychic premonitions. As the possibility of death by man and animal surrounds him, he quickly learns that he, too, is destined to become food for the cats. Trapped between man and beast, his assignment turns into that of survival.

Smilodon intertwines the exciting possibility and nightmarish reality of cloning in an age in which advanced genetic engineering is rapidly evolving.

"Consider the very real possibility of cloning your recently deceased pet," says the author. "We are on the brink of just such a thing. If after your pet, what about your child, or an entire genetically engineered perfect society?" Smilodon will send one back to thinking, "What if?"

Awesome Listening

Smilodon was a fantastic story. Mr. Paddock knows just how to spin a great yarn. The narrating was done well. I expect to read or listen to more of this author's work.

Love Those Big Cats

I truly enjoyed this book. It was the second book I have read/listened to from James Paddock. It caught my attention from page one until the end. I am hooked. Narrator Josiah John Bildner was perfect. I can’t wait until the next book comes out. In the meantime I will check out his other works!! I received this audiobook in a free promo, and this is my voluntary unbiased review.
