Leviathan by James Byron Huggins
If you are a creature feature lover like me, Leviathan is one you don’t want to miss.
The cover below is the same as my hardback copy published Thomas Nelson, Inc in 1995. There are some different covers and I will share another below that I think is super cool. Maybe you can guess what creature the Leviathan is by checking it out.
MY FRIDAY 56
His mind spinning, Frank whispered, “But I don’t think that you can hold it, Chesterton. Not if Leviathan really wants to get out. That cavern was never designed to hold anything like this.”
(page 56 in hardback)
MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
Bloodred warning lights blazed as the cavern’s shock alarm was triggered, frantically launching wounded computer personnel into emergency stabilizing procedures.
GOOREADS BLURB
Conner felt an eerie sensation as he studied the image on the ancient Viking ax: a great, fiery dragon with wings as wide as the universe, viciously locked in battle with a heroic, winged figure that grimly held the dragon’s hideous head, struggling breath to breath. “Every man must face the dragon once in his life,” Thor told him. “It is then he learns what he truly loves.”

I absolutely loved this book and have read it several times. You made me want to read it again! LOL
My 56 from Sunborn Rising
Forgot to answer your question. Both covers are good but the original grabs me the most.
I like both covers. This sounds like an interesting story. My 56 book is Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs. Happy reading!
Not one for me. But I love the cover comparisons. I like the original cover the best. The newer one looks a bit more like a lizard manual. Have a great weekend! I’d love for you and your readers to check out mine… http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewsTUIB
Oh, wow, that second cover is a little creepy/scary….lol. I have mixed feelings about dragons. But I do have some dragon figurines with one of my Disney collections.
Thanks for sharing…and enjoy. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Not heard of it but I probably wouldn’t have gave it much of a chance with that first cover but the one with he eye, would have me checking it out…lol. 🙂

I think the big eye picture is more striking. But the other picture is more evocative of a sea monster.
Thanks for playing along on BBOF, even though I didn’t have a Mr. Linky this week!
Sounds interesting! Your blog looks great! Have a wonderful weekend!
I haven’t heard of this one before, but it looks interesting. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Now I will have nightmares – those covers give me the creeps. I think the original is better. Thanks for visiting my blog. Here’s my Friday Book.
Sounds pretty freaky to me, I like that!! Happy Memorial day long weekend!
I think I need this one! 🙂
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).
This looks like one monster of a book (pun intended). Have a great weekend!
Great teasers from the book Sherry. Got to love Dragons!
