DINOSAUR - Llewelyn, Stephen

. .

Résumé :
Spaceships, wormholes and dinosaurs! Don't miss it. Stephen Baxter (Time, The Long Earth, Doctor Who) Epic! Full of big ideas! Dinosaur is a thrilling read told on a huge scale. A massive spaceship packed full of characters is all set for a new life in space - but instead drops through a wormhole and ends up on prehistoric Earth. Stranded, struggling to survive, these people have a major problem to contend with: they're marooned on the planet of the dinosaurs! Stephen Llewelyn clearly knows - and loves - his dinosaurs, and that knowledge and passion shines through. The result is a big, bold adventure - and yet one that very much fits the mould of classic science-fiction, some very clever protagonists responding to a crisis by breaking it down into problems to be solved. Dinosaurs! Crashed spaceship! What's not to love? Simon Guerrier (Primeval, Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Immersing myself in the vivid world of Dinosaur, I really felt I'd travelled back to the Cretaceous. Utilising up to date scientific research, author Stephen Llewelyn has breathed life back into the herds of giants and their predators that in the past, roamed across Patagonia. If like me, you love time travel and prehistoric beasts, you'll relish this book. Nigel Marven, TV Naturalist (Prehistoric Park, Walking With Dinosaurs) The leader of a sinister political group hatches an insane plan to save humanity. Fighting to stop them could doom us all. When every action and decision may determine the fate of everyone who has ever lived, the right choice is not always clear. However, for one man, there is no choice at all... Captain James Douglas sets off on a mundane transport and supply mission that quickly descends into disaster. Leading a fledgling society through a wild and hostile world was not part of his brief. Nor was the custodianship of all human life, history and endeavour. Worse still, an enemy hides among his passengers, while the knowledge of Tim Norris, a boy just days out of school, may be all that stands between mankind and extinction. The crew and passengers of the USS New World are lost 100 million years ago in Mid-Cretaceous Gondwana. It is the time of the dinosaur... for now. New World Series of Time Travel Historical and Prehistoric Fiction Adventure Books: Fast-paced science fiction adventure. If you enjoy gripping time travel novels set in the past, with a mixture of action and suspense, plenty of humour and twists - and yes, dinosau
