  A jewelry store clerk is devoured by a mass of flesh-eating worms. 
  It’s just another heist for WILLIE “THE WORM” PITTS and his gang. There is a strong suspicion that the police cannot control crime in the city. The entire department is on edge. Against this backdrop of crime gone wild, STAN POCAROBA, a K-9 police officer, keeps his unit of dogs ready to go and emotionally attached like a close-knit family. 
  One night, Stan and his K-9 Unit corner Willie in a university lab. During the gun fight, test tubes explode in Stan's face. His blood absorbs the fossilized cells of a prehistoric raptor. Stan soon learns that he is able to transform into a raptor with all the powers of the fabled hunter, but not without a few drawbacks. His transformation is a work-in-progress including the pitfalls and dangers of a disjointed life in an unforgiving world. 
  In order to escape the lab, Willie takes a lab research chemist, JUANITA, as hostage. She is the only person capable of unlocking the mystery of Stan's condition. Stan needs to hurry if he wants to save Juanita. But, the police mistake a transformed Stan for one of the criminals and a dragnet is set up for his capture. 
  Time is running out. Willie buries Juanita in a coffin with a 48-hour air supply, adding a snake and a mouse to keep her company. He demands $10 million from the city or he will let Juanita die. 
  Can Stan control his transformations enough to find Juanita? Will he be captured by his own police department? And how will the dogs cope with a prehistoric raptor as their commander? 
  “Raptor Cop” is a non-stop, action/adventure roller coaster ride---with all the exciting twists and turns!

  This sequel to King Solomon's Mines is filled with the spirit of adventure. Three men and their guide trek into remote Africa in search of a lost white race. Their perilous journey takes them to Zu-Vendis, a kingdom ruled by the beautiful twin sisters, Nyleptha and Sorais. Thrilled by rumors of a lost civilization, three Englishmen decide to travel to the heart of Africa with their Zulu guide, where they meet with continual peril: an attack by a cruel warrior tribe, the scorch of underground volcanic fires, and an encounter with a huge species of ferocious black crab. Exhausted and depleted of supplies, the men at last arrive at a mysterious city in the highlands of the interior. The people, called the Zu-Vendi, enjoy a civilization suggesting Egyptian origin, which includes a sun-worshiping priesthood. The travelers immediately fall into disfavor with the priests by shooting some sacred hippopotami. More problems arise when Sir Henry falls in love with one of the twin queens who rule the land. Her devious sister becomes jealous, and civil war erupts.

Dropped in throughout this rolling narrative are twenty detailed essays in which Trudeau contemplates his characters, including portraits of core characters such as Duke and Honey, Zonker, Joanie, and Rev. Sloan, as well as more recent additions, such as Zipper, Alex, and Toggle. Trudeau also includes an annotated diagram that maps the mind-boggling matrix of character relationships.
