Hell Creek 65 Million Years in the Past the Journey Begins Author:L.M. Graziano, M.S.A. Graziano The Hell Creek fossil bed is a paleontologist's dream.... — until the fossils come to life. — A long-extinct beetle is created in a particle physics lab. An unstable Graviton Vault hurls four-and-a-half people and a dog onto a beach inhabited by toothed gulls and fifty-foot crocodiles. There will be no rescue party: for paleontologist Julian Whi... more »tney must convince his companions that they are still in the same location - 65-million years in the past, at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. How can they hope to return home, with the Vault perhaps destroyed, and a hypothetical "reversion point" a thousand miles away in the Cretaceous wilderness?
65-million years in the future, police chief Sharon Earles tries to solve the mystery of exactly half a body remaining where five people had been moments before. Physicists are brought in to repair the equipment and figure out what went wrong. But can they get the Vault running in time to retrieve the missing people...and do they want to?
Most prehistoric fiction brings dinosaurs into our time, where they clash with Man's synthetic world. Hell Creek does the opposite. From the great Inland Sea to the foothills of the infant Rocky Mountains, we are shown the entirety of an ecosystem. The authors' scientific knowledge of Earth's geologic and evolutionary history gives the story, and the titanic animals it is centered around, a realism that is refreshing - and immensely entertaining.« less
