Synopsis

A space cloud of unknown composition is on a collision course with Earth as the world holds its breath.

The anomaly sails through the solar system and the International Space Station along with three astronauts and one cosmonaut are thrown back to the Cretaceous period where dinosaurs roam Earth hunting prey and great pterosaurs patrol the skies.

Supplies on the station run low and desperation takes hold, but morale grows when the crew sees a bright multi-colored light blinking on the surface below. The astronauts decide to evacuate the station in the Soyuz escape capsule and investigate. As the adventurers struggle to survive in the primordial jungle, the party discovers artifacts of an ancient civilization that could help them find the light beacon. If they can stay alive long enough.

Goodreads review by Crystal Fenerty on February 07, 2021

I’m not sure The story almost seems to drag on and on with no actual solution or culmination. If there was a follow up book maybe this one would be ok? But this story seems to only be about the humans ways of dealing with stress and depression with dinosaurs thrown in to try and add interest. It is a......more

Goodreads review by Carmen on December 28, 2018

Edge of your seat story! I could not stop reading. To the spacefarers, it seemed they had been thrown back in time when dinosaurs roamed by the mysterious space cloud. Yet, a bright beam they had seen radiating from Earth while in space gave them hope of returning to their own time. But, where they c......more
