Book Description
FOR ELEVEN THOUSAND YEARS THEY'VE BEEN SLEEPING. The first victims are found torn to pieces in the hills of Santa Barbara. Authorities believe it's the grisly work of a serial murderer who kills with a feral, inhuman instinct. They're half-right. Anthropologist Jim Grand knows the truth. Reporter Hannah Hughes fears it. FOR ELEVEN THOUSAND YEARS THEY'VE BEEN DEVELOPING AN APPETITE. Awakened from a cryogenic slumber deep in the cold, dark caves of Southern California, a carnivorous, prehistoric terror has emerged. Grand calls it fatalis. History calls it the saber-tooth cat. They've returned with only one purpose: to eat. AND NOTHING IN ELEVEN THOUSAND YEARS CAN STOP THEM. With each new dawn they crawl closer to civilization. Closer to the scent of their ultimate -- and powerless -- prey. The battle between past and present, between man and beast has been waged. And God help the loser . . .

Book Description
Marcus Furius Camillus is the dominant figure in our traditional history of the Roman Republic in the early fourth century. He has been featured in histories of Rome since the Renaissance, but currently is viewed with great scepticism, some even questioning his very existence. What is notably absent, however, is any reference to a system of historical method: how one distinguishes fact from fiction. This is the first modern monograph on Camillus, and it grapples head-on with this problem. The results are unexpected.

Book Description
The two luminescent eyes watched the long, deserted roadway from low on the gusty promontory. Moist and dark, like large oily pearls, the eyes shifted and widened almost imperceptibly at every movement a hundred feet below. They roamed among the dim lights and deep shadows, the tall waves of the sea beyond, the dark beach, the large sea animals that broke the surface in the distance, the night birds that soared and hovered above the rocks, the flat clouds, the misty raindrops, the signposts rattling in the wind. Most of these things were familiar; a few were not. But new or old, it was a world of constant movement, a world where any motion could be enemy or prey. Which was why the eyes missed nothing. Nor did the ears, which were shaped like gold tulip petals... It froze as the scent came suddenly, from the north...The black eyes were met by other black eyes and they all began to move...Quickly and silently they slid through the brush and stones...commanding the foothills simply by moving through them. The smell of the prey was different, the speed was greater than they had seen, but the size was familiar. They knew just what to do. --From Fatalis

Book Description
The consummate guide to the ultimate sabertooth. Few animals spark the imagination as much as the sabertooth cat Smilodon. With their incredibly long canines, which hung like fangs past their jaws, these ferocious predators were first encountered by humans when our species entered the Americas. We can only imagine what ice age humans felt when they were confronted by a wild cat larger than a Siberian tiger. Because Smilodon skeletons are perennial favorites with museum visitors, researchers have devoted themselves to learning as much as possible about the lives of these massive cats. This volume, edited by celebrated academics, brings together a team of experts to provide a comprehensive and contemporary view of all that is known about Smilodon. The result is a detailed scientific work that will be invaluable to paleontologists, mammalogists, and serious amateur sabertooth devotees. The book • covers all major aspects of the animal's natural history, evolution, phylogenetic relationships, anatomy, biomechanics, and ecology • traces all three Smilodon species across both North and South America • brings together original, unpublished research with historical accounts of Smilodon's discovery in nineteenth-century Brazil The definitive reference on these iconic Pleistocene mammals, Smilodon will be cited by researchers for decades to come.
