The creatures, terrifyingly similar to velociraptors, were cynically designed to remove humanity’s surplus numbers. The situation soon spiraled out of control, and these ‘Raptors’ quickly became the new apex predator.

Helped by Cory Melkin, a former radical; Evelyn Phelps, a woman of many hidden talents; and Kate, a lost child who knows more than she is saying, Jesse must survive long enough to uncover the dark secrets that led to The Raptor Apocalypse and prevent the extinction of the human race.

The Raptor Apocalypse is the first book in The Raptor Apocalypse series and contains mature themes and violence.
