Where Legends Roam

Kodiak #1

by Lee Murphy

This is the first in a series of adventure novels that chronicles the exploits of George Kodiak-- cryptozoologist-- as he searches the dark and deadly places of the Earth for animal anomalies such as the Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster. In this premier outing Kodiak becomes the grudging pawn of billionaire Emory Pittman who, believing the Sasquatch is a reality, enlists Kodiak's service in capturing a specimen of this rare animal for his private zoo. Future novels in this series will include the Honey Island Swamp Monster of Louisiana, Ogopogo of Canada, and Mokele-mbembe; the living dinosaur of Central Africa. This series should appeal to anyone who enjoyed "Jurassic Park", "The Lost World", Clive Cussler's "Dirk Pitt" series, or "The X-files".

About the author

This year marks the arrival of my NINTH NOVEL titled THE HEN HOUSE. It's a terrifying horror story about what happens when a werewolf gets into a maximum security prison and turns the place into a feeding ground.

I currently have eight novels in publication-- five of which chronicle the adventures of my fictional cryptozoologist George Kodiak. The subjects covered so far are Bigfoot, Canada's Ogopogo, the Honey Island Swamp Monster, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Chupacabras.


My other three books are stand-alone novels. Ygor is a re-imagining of the Frankenstein story as told from Ygor's point of view and was written and published before the film Victor Frankenstein was made. Redneck Frankenstein is a comedy which poses the question: what if Dr. Frankenstein, instead of being a brilliant European surgeon, was really a backwoods redneck? Lastly, Psychic Shower is a science fiction horror story about weaponizing a piece of equipment recovered from the famous Roswell saucer crash of 1947.

[Craig Spivek · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one starts off the Kodiak journey. With this book for the first time we are presented with not only a real creature, grounded in science, but also the human drama that surrounds it. The best way to describe this book is Michael Crichton gets thrown into an episode of "in Search of" and there's a ton of blood and guts. I'm a fan of the Kodiak series.
