Killing Dragons

In a world where sea dragons terrorize dolphins, you enter the reef at your own risk.

Marine biologist Eva Paz is on the verge of revolutionizing linguistics by cracking the dolphin communication code. Then police call her away to investigate a dead fisherman. It’s her mother’s boyfriend, but Eva is running out of time to complete her dolphin whistle library by the deadline, putting her grant at risk. Without funding, her dolphins will soon be turned loose in the deadly Caribbean.

A cartel leader makes Eva an offer she can’t refuse. He’ll fund her dolphin research if she’ll help him capture the sea dragon. His aid comes with a catch, and he doesn’t count the cost.

Then geneticist Thomas Sternberg arrives on sabbatical to lead a dive school. He wants to help Eva, but they share a tragic past. While on his watch as a Navy Seal, Eva’s brother was killed, and her dolphin was wounded.

Eva doesn’t trust Thomas, but can she set that aside to work with him to stop the sea dragon and save her dolphins?

For fans of Jaws and Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, Killing Dragons is book one in Kristie Clark’s Order of the Dolphin series.

“A smart, science fiction thriller that will have readers looking twice at dolphins — and scanning the waters for something far more menacing. Highly recommended.” — Chanticleer Reviews

Killing Dragons is a Reedsy FIVE STAR Must Read Book!

Eco-thriller with dolphins, red tide, a commercial fish farm, a mysterious sea monster, and more intrigue!

«I really enjoyed Clark's imaginative and rich landscape of Roatan and the surrounding water life. Reading about the diving experience will make you want to try it for yourself, especially where there aren't any sea monsters involved!

If you are a fan of the Jurassic Park books by Michael Crichton and enjoy eco-fiction and/or thrillers, you will get a kick out of this novel about dolphins, fish farms, and a dangerous sea dragon.» – Rachel Barnard, Reedsy Reviews
