Dragon Island

Finalist, 2025 BestThrillers.com Book Awards

SOME MONSTERS ARE REAL-AND SOME SECRETS ARE DEADLY

After a dragon-like attack, a paleontologist's team ventures deep into an island jungle-only to discover the true nightmare has just begun.

Deep in a Caribbean rainforest, a secret U.S. military base is hiding something terrifying. After a dragon-like creature decimates a village on the Puerto Rican island of Isla Lagarta, survivors' claims are dismissed-until paleontologist Dr. Vikki Barnes and her scientist ex-boyfriend start digging for answers. Now, with the military determined to silence them, they must team up with a conspiracy-spouting pilot, a grizzled war veteran, and a remarkable 12-year-old girl to unravel the mystery and survive.

Can they expose the truth before the island's secret claims more victims?

In the vein of classic science thrillers such as Jurassic Park and Relic, Dragon Island blends fast-paced excitement and scientific plausibility in a thrilling adventure that brings prehistoric terror and modern science to life.
