Sequel to DYING BREED

Max – Hide and Seek Champion of the World, the second book in the Max the Bigfoot Trilogy and sixth in the Medford Haley series by Mike Davis.

In Max – Hide and Seek Champion of the World, Mike Davis deepens the mythos of his Medford Haley universe with a story that is at once thrilling, heartfelt, and profoundly human.

This second installment of the Max the Bigfoot Trilogy continues the saga of Medford Haley and Max — the gentle giant who is both mystery and mirror to humankind — as they confront the tensions between civilization and wilderness, belonging and exile, myth and truth.

Five years after the events of Dying Breed, Medford is called back into the strange, spiritual heart of America’s forests to help guide Max — now seven feet tall and nearly four hundred pounds — home. The once-sheltered Sasquatch youth has outgrown the safety of the Mojave’s Phone Box Café and must return to his kind in the mist-shrouded wilderness of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. But the journey is no simple homecoming. Between violent militia remnants, haunted tribal lands, and legends that walk in the fog, Medford discovers that the line between the mythic and the mortal is vanishing.

From the surf culture of California to the sacred groves of La Push, Davis crafts a tapestry that binds First Nations spirituality, ecological philosophy, and the timeless yearning for connection. Through Medford’s eyes, readers witness the uneasy coexistence of human progress and nature’s patience — and through Max’s silent innocence, the tragedy of what is lost when one species forgets its place among the others.
A master of mythic realism, Davis fuses humor, reverence, and suspense in prose that ripples with both grit and grace.

Max – Hide and Seek Champion of the World is a modern parable about kinship and consequence — a story of fathers and sons, secrets and spirits, and the eternal question of who, in the end, are the real “dying breed.”

Short Description (~120 words)

In this haunting and heartfelt continuation of Dying Breed, surfer and wanderer Medford Haley helps guide Max — a gentle, growing Sasquatch — back to his ancestral wilderness. But the journey home leads them into a fogbound world of tribal secrets, ancient guardians, and human greed.
Set amid the misty forests of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, Max – Hide and Seek Champion of the World is a moving parable about kinship, coexistence, and the fragile balance between civilization and the wild.

Long Description (~250–300 words)

Five years after rescuing Max, a mysterious, hair-covered child found in the Olympic wilderness, Medford Haley faces a promise long deferred. Now grown into a towering adolescent with the mind of an innocent and the heart of a poet, Max yearns to return home — to the deep forests where his kind, the Sasquatch’m, still dwell unseen.

Accompanied by Derek Deklan, a mercenary with a conscience, and Medford’s wise and intuitive wife Honey, the group travels north from the Mojave Desert to the ancient rainforests of the Quileute Nation. But their pilgrimage awakens forces that have lain dormant for centuries — shapeshifters, tribal protectors, and creatures who remember the first humans.

Told in Davis’s signature blend of humor, lyricism, and spiritual insight, Max – Hide and Seek Champion of the Worldexplores what it means to be truly wild, truly free, and truly human. Both an environmental allegory and an adventure epic, it stands as a testament to friendship, compassion, and the enduring mysteries that hide in the world’s last sacred places.

For readers of Peter Matthiessen, Neil Gaiman, and Barbara Kingsolver — a novel of myth, memory, and the courage to face what lives beyond the edge of the map.
