The Alien Connection

Dinosaur Lake #6

by Kathryn Meyer Griffith

Henry Shore has spent the last decade hunting for, fighting, protecting people from, and exterminating rogue dinosaurs in his beloved Crater Lake National Park, and the towns around it. Once the Chief Park Ranger there, now he’s retired and, since all the dinosaurs are supposedly gone, he’s trying to live his best retirement life. Except, for Henry, that doesn’t seem to be possible…because of a new sorrow he’s had to shoulder, and a new insidious breed of super-smart, highly intuitive dinosaurs that have suddenly emerged to again menace humanity. Henry is asked to track them down; and he’s dragged back into the fray. Besides being asked to battle this new threat, Henry has also been invited by his paleontologist son-in-law, Doctor Justin Maltin, to join a top-secret government team of research scientists at Area 52 investigating the original and apparently ancient origins, of the earth’s earlier plague of dinosaurs–and two mysterious alien spaceships stored there. What Henry becomes a part of turns out to be so much more than even he could have imagined. A true alien enigma. There’s something mysteriously mindboggling at Area 52 and Henry will help uncover its mystery, and, in doing so, will have the most incredible experience of his life–and that’s saying a lot for a seasoned dinosaur hunter.

About the author

About Kathryn Meyer Griffith 2023
Since childhood I’ve been an artist, and have worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for twenty-three years before I quit to write full time. But I’d already begun writing novels at 21, over fifty-one years ago now, and have had thirty-five (romantic horror, horror novels, romantic SF horror, romantic suspense, romantic time travel, historical romance, thrillers, one non-fiction short story collection, dinosaur books, and murder mysteries) previous novels and thirteen short stories published from various traditional publishers since 1984. But I’ve gone into self-publishing in a big way since 2012; and upon getting all my previous books’ full rights back for the first time in 36 years, have self-published all of them. My seven Dinosaur Lake novels and Spookie Town Murder Mysteries (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us, Witches Among Us, What Lies Beneath the Graves, All Those Who Came Before, When the Fireflies Returned, and Echoes of Other Times) are my best-sellers.
I was married to Russell for over forty-three years; have a son, two grandchildren and a great-granddaughter. I live in a small quaint town in Illinois. I have a quirky cat, Sasha, and we live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I’ve been an artist, and a folk/classic rock singer in my youth with my late brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I’ll probably write stories until the day I die…or until my memory goes.

Love this series

Since I was born and live in Klamath Falls Oregon and have been to Crater Lake my whole life I love this series. I also love spooky town and hope for more of that series. This book is so wonderful it truly brought me to tears. Well done Kathryn.

Good ending

I have finished the series and enjoyed each book. I'm x sorry to see the end. I feel like I know these people and want to know what they are doing now. The author created likable, realistic people. Read the whole series, you'll love them.

Dino Lake Six

I liked this book because of the clean language. I don't know if this is the last in the series, but I hope not. I did not give it five stars because there was just too little actual dino action. The story itself was decent. Gotta love Oscar. I knew from.the beginning that something was wrong with Ann. Pretty decent read. Yes, I recommend it.

Wonderful book but needs another edit.

I enjoyed this book as much as the all the previous in the series. A wonderful conclusion, if indeed it is a conclusion.
The book does need another edit though. Obvious errors throughout. Use if the words lease instead of leash. Saying something was noise and light then two paragraphs later was absolutely silent. Standing relight beside something and inches from touching it then chapters later saying he had never been this close before standing beside it. A lot of inconsistency errors like that throughout.
Normally I would take a star off for the level of errors but I liked the book enough regardless that I’m still giving 5 stars.
Yes I recommend this book to others.

Dinosaurs/Aliens...a must read for this series

I wasn't sure about this book in the series. Aliens that are dinosaurs? Then, I laughed as I realized that the entire series was about evolved dinosaurs coming back to roam the earth. As usual, the author did an excellent job of telling the story. I was glad to see how life went on for the characters and I enjoyed meeting new characters. The "new" breed of dinosaurs kept me interested and the ending was fantastic. I have enjoyed this series immensely and I look forward to reading the next book.

Great series

I enjoy anything to do archeology and paleontology. This book covers those subject great, and the added bonus of the aliens made the books. I had trouble putting the books down so I could go to work and couldn't wait to get home so I could start reading them again.. I would recommend these books to everyone except younger children as they might cause nightmares.

Dinosaurs

Very good story. I've enjoyed this entire series and hope this is not the last one.
Can't wait till you write another

[Ruben · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good final

Henry at its best. Very interesting hystory. A new adventure, with old names but new begging . I recommend .

[Chili Diane Evance · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story opened up a new dialog about the dinosaurs. Could it be that aliens do exist? I found out and my perception will never be the same. Love this series.

Auntie Mimi

Looking forward to reading 7th book. Have enjoyed the first 6 very much. Henry is a great character to follow.

[April Bogart · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book. The whole series is amazing and I’ll be sad that it ends. Would love to have another one come out. But I’ll be rereading this series again

[Sherry Fundin · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is so exciting to be back in Klamath Falls, Oregon, with Henry Shore, but I do so with a heavy heart. Kathryn Meyer Griffith is wrapping up the story in Dinosaur Lake VI, and I will sorely miss the characters I have grown to love. She has surprised me with the story, taking me to a place I never anticipated and I do so love when an author can do that.

Henry is back at Crater Lake National Park…this time as a visitor, touring the wintry back roads in a camper, reminiscing about his past adventures. He had to catch a fish for dinner, because Ann had not stocked the pantry and they were deep in the backwoods, unable to easily drive into town. He thought of their dinosaur friend, Oscar, who he sorely missed, but they all the dinosaurs were gone now. I feel so much sorrow for Henry.

A snow storm was coming, so it was time to leave the park while they could get out.

I am so invested in the characters and how their lives have changed throughout the books. When Justin came to visit Henry, everything came rushing back for him…and for me. Henry needs a mission and Justin has just the thing.

I cannot tell you a lot about the book, because if you haven’t read the previous ones, and think aliens and dinosaurs are for you, I do not want to spoil them for you. I want you to experience them for yourself and I highly recommend the series. But I will tell you it is…

Original, exciting, action packed, loaded with characters that can steal your heart. Kathryn Meyer Griffith’s descriptive writing makes it easy to get lost in the world she has created. We do have some evil dinosaurs and a couple of alien space ships. I did not anticipate how she would wrap the series up, but she did it in a splendid fashion.

I love what Kathryn Meyer Griffith did with the Dinosaur Lake series and could see this easily being made into a TV or movie series.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Dinosaur Lake IV by Kathryn Meyer Griffith.
