    About this ebook

    Ulysses King is a man like no other. He travels across dimensions in his time machine NotTA to correct and prevent the atrocities his people, an immortal race known as the Olympians, have unleashed on humanity.

    When a seemingly invincible radioactive t-rex goes on a rampage of destruction in Japan, King suspects Olympian interference and knows he must intervene to stop the chaos. Along for the ride are his companions: his Amazonian bodyguard Pandora, scientist Crystal Lee, and journalist Jake Gannon. Dinosaurs and Nukes Don’t Mix: A Ulysses King Adventure by Mark Beaulieu is an immensely enjoyable tale filled with action, humor, and plenty of otherworldly situations.

      DINOSAURS AND NUKES DON’T MIX

      A Ulysses King Adventure

      By Mark Beaulieu

      Prologue: It Came From the Ocean

      Bunpei was as happy as could be.

      It was a glorious day at the beach for the little boy and his family. The Pacific Ocean was beautiful, the temperature perfect. Bunpei’s parents were always very busy, so it was wonderful to finally get taken on vacation. Bunpei licked melting chocolate ice-cream off his hand in perfect contentment. The only thing that could have made this day better was if his older brother were here.

      A slight rumble shivered under Bumpei’s feet. The topmost ramparts of his sand-castle tumbled down. He squatted down next to the collapsed tower but a freak wave washed up to wreck it even more. Along the beach sunbathers shrieked and jumped up as their towels and bags were soaked.

      Bunpei frowned. Why hadn’t the water washed that high before? Wasn’t the tide supposed to be going out? He looked to his parents, but they were busy rescuing their picnic hamper from the unexpected wash.

      The second tremor demolished the castle entirely, shook Bumpei’s ice-cream from its cone, and knocked him flat on his behind. Even as the five-year-old drew breath to cry over these disasters the ground shook again, harder still.

      A rhythmic noise from the ocean accompanied each shockwave: BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

      The sunbathers and swimmers grabbed up their supplies. Some began to run from the beach. Bunpei’s mother called to him, ran toward him; a shockwave spilled her to the sand. Panicking beach-goers ran past, jostling, screaming, preventing her from scrambling to her feet. Bunpei’s father, returning along the beach to his family, struggled against the crowds.

      The ocean began to bubble. Bunpei stared. The waves parted and a spiked green dome broke through the surface. Something was coming out of the Pacific!

      The vacationer’ screams became louder. Some froze in terror. Others scrambled away blindly, climbing over each other to escape. Bunpei’s mother reached him, scooped him in her arms, and began to sprint up the shore.

      Bunpei clung to her as she raced toward his father. She tripped over a beach lounger and scrambled up. A huge fleeing fat man knocked her off her feet again. She shielded Bunpei as she fell but couldn’t stand because of the successive shockwaves that rocked the beach.

      Don’t be scared! Don’t be! Bunpei’s mother screamed at him, terrified. The child saw tears in his mother’s wide dilated eyes. Bunpei wondered if perhaps it was from that foul stench of dead fish that had welled up around them? Or was she afraid? What made mommies afraid?

      His father was nearly with them now. Then he skidded to a halt and looked upwards, incredulously. Bunpei turned and stared too, entranced by what he saw emerging from the thrashing ocean.

      He heard a roar, bestial, ear-splitting.

      He saw a flash of blood-red light.

      When the flames dissipated there was nothing left alive on the beach. Smoking melded sand like lighting-glass ribboned the decimated strand.

      And something continued to come out of the water.

      Chapter 1: Are Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, and Tom Hanks Interchangeable?

      Crystal Lee walked over to the leather-topped table in the cluttered storefront. Outside the antique store’s leaded front windows images raced like rippled pages in a picture book. Each image was a snapshot of other realities.

      It would take the Asian woman a while to get used to travel between alternate histories in a Victorian antique store. She turned to the man who sat at the table staring out at the flickering scenes. I can’t believe all those people died because you came to save me.

      Ulysses King sighed. He leaned forward and spoke gently, They didn’t die because I came to save you. They died because Darwin dropped asteroids on their planet.

      I know he’s responsible, but if you hadn’t wasted time coming to find me, you could’ve saved many more people than you did.

      The antique store swayed a little. A pile of books toppled to the floor. Japanese windchimes tinkled. A stuffed alligator hanging from the roof swayed. Outside the windows the scenes shifted to bleak geological vistas and blistered desolation.

      The shop’s owner counted on his fingers. "First off, we saved them.
