Some fish become legends. This one became a nightmare.
Jeff Hilton and Mike O'Doyle are lifelong friends, experienced fishermen, and the kind of men who will travel to the end of the world for the chance to land the fish of a lifetime. Their latest adventure takes them deep into the Russian wilderness, where the remote Tugur River holds monsters beneath its dark current.
Jeff Hilton and Mike O'Doyle are lifelong friends, experienced fishermen, and the kind of men who will travel to the end of the world for the chance to land the fish of a lifetime. Their latest adventure takes them deep into the Russian wilderness, where the remote Tugur River holds monsters beneath its dark current.
But Jeff and Mike soon discover that the fish are not the only danger in Russia.
Their expedition attracts the attention of the KGB, whose agents become increasingly interested in the two Americans, their movements, and what they are taking from Mother Russia. What begins as an extraordinary fishing trip to collect a once-in-a-lifetime specimen turns into a tense international pursuit. Jeff and Mike must survive the river, the wilderness, and the growing suspicion that they are being watched by people who do not intend to let them keep their catch.
Their search for another monster fish leads them to Argentina, where stories have spread about a legendary Chinook salmon known only as the King. Hidden somewhere in the wild waters near RÃo Caterina and Los Glaciares, the enormous fish has become the dream of fishermen who have heard the rumors-and the obsession of those determined to prove the rumors are true.
With the unforgettable guide Stymie leading the way, Jeff and Mike enter an unforgiving landscape in search of the greatest salmon ever seen. The King is larger, stronger, and more dangerous than anything they imagined. Catching it could make fishing history. What they bring back from the expedition could change much more than the record books.
Years later, Pulaski, New York, is preparing to celebrate the Salmon River's return to life. The town revives its famous river tube races, drawing competitors, families, fishermen, tourists, and thousands of spectators to the water. The river is filled with brightly colored tubes, laughter, local rivalries, and the kind of small-town excitement that Pulaski has been waiting years to experience again.
Beneath the celebration, however, something is moving upstream.
Fish begin disappearing from the lake. Strange sightings spread across Lake Ontario. Something enormous is hiding in the deep water and moving towards the Salmon River. It is growing. It is learning. And as the tube races begin, the people crowding the river have no idea that they are entering its hunting ground.
Jeff, Mike, and Samantha must confront the terrible consequences of a discovery that began thousands of miles away. Jeff and Mike struggling with the consequences of their actions, the town in danger, and an impossible predator rising from the depths, an international fishing adventure becomes a desperate battle for survival.
The King Salmonoid is a cinematic horror-science-fiction adventure filled with international intrigue, legendary fishing expeditions, small-town humor, unforgettable characters, terrifying attacks, and escalating action. Traveling from the wilderness of Russia and the glacial waters of Argentina to the crowded Salmon River in Pulaski, New York, it tells the story of two fishermen who went looking for the greatest catch in history-and found something the world was never prepared to face.
The tube races have returned.
The river is waiting.
And the King is hungry.
