Hunter's Moon: Book II of Cretaceous Station Terrence E Zavecz

Publisher Marketing: "Sure T-Rex is big, mean, unbelievably fast and they hunt in packs. Yeah, True ... but they aren't the ones that scare me!" Cretaceous Station Book II It was a study of the unknown. Mankind's first steps to the stars oddly enough began with a trip to the past. A very distant past. They began a colony; a research colony to study the universe from a different perspective. Of course, getting there was half the battle. But they did it! They discovered time travel of a very limited sort. The problem was you could only travel to very specific periods that centered on the system's greatest disasters. You know, the major extinction events. They setup the research facility and ... what? Oh yeah, the dinosaurs. Well, the dinosaurs weren't a big problem if they took the proper precautions. Scientific breakthroughs followed one after the other. The goals of the expedition seemed in easy reach. Then the others showed up. They weren't big like T-Rex. Oh yeah, they shared every other characteristic of that marvelous monster but they were different in so many frightening ways. Worst of all they were smart. Oh yeah, they were very, very smart and they liked the pain. ________________________ We've heard about them all our lives but we really didn't know them. Plans are underway for the expansion of the Cretaceous Research Station from a five-year project to a permanent settlement with a StarPort and a unique resort. Their biggest problem is funding and they, of course, need approval of the board. Then they encounter new representatives of a race that is a hundred times older than that of the humans. Their desires and drives are different and their goals are unobvious but one thing is obvious. They are very, very intelligent ... in an alien, very deadly way. If they wish to survive, the Cretaceous Station explorers must pit their technology and intelligence against the increasingly savage attacks of these aliens. Then again, just who are the aliens? The humans who have come to transform the land or these dinosaurs who suddenly find them very interesting?
