About this ebook

A continuation of the story from Book 1 "DIRE ENCOUNTERS - Man Meets Wolf".  This is the second book of the series.

Kahn, the youthful, bold, brash, and driven deposed prince of the Gamma Dire Wolf Pack seeks to regain his status within the pack but uncertain how.  After surviving and discovering the plot to eliminate him by his father, he struggles with his psyche on exactly how to regain pack dominance and ultimately overthrow his father for the status of Alpha of the pack.

Kahn is not one to mix words or actions.  His approach has always been direct and to the point; usually with a certain degree of anger, violence, and revenge.  He must decide which direction his soul must take to get what he wants.  With his loyal protectorate and only friend Simeon, he decides if it's the direct approach or one with more consideration... something Simeon tries instilling in him.  Either path leads to uncertainty and lifelong consequences.

There is a light and dark side to us all in regards to our thoughts and actions.  There is also a touch of gray; all of it influenced by what we experience, know, and taught.  The path to redemption is long and hard.  Will the negative influences from Kahn's old Gamma pack direct his actions or the teachings of his wise and considerate protectorate, Simeon?  What is Alden's influence in this process?  What is to become of him?  What are the wolves influences on him, and vice versa?  Alden has his own demons to sort out.  His final destination is uncertain as well.  What is to become of Alden's mammalian allies, Shasta, Condo, and the wolves?  This book reveals all.

This book has been a pleasure to write, such that it became too large for just one book. It is in two volumes with a third considered depending on public interest.  Dire Encounters is a work of fiction and a result of my fascination with extinct mega fauna of the Ice Age, admiration for the American Native Indian and my general fascination with life sciences in general. Dire Encounters has taken me 7 years to write, edit, compose, illustrate, and finally publish.

I hope this book inspires, entertains, educates, and moves you as it did me while writing it. This was my goal for the reader, though I started writing for entirely different reasons. This book is much about me as it is the characters in it and a dream of mine that now share... digitally on virtual paper with you.  The journey within the plot is filled with Christian themes as I am a Christian above all else.  Try and discover the hidden meaning, words, places, names, and numbers that have references to the Bible, Christianity, and God.  May the Great Spirt Bless you.

Most of all Enjoy!
