The Bookshare synopsis reads as follows:
On Earth they had died out 70 million years ago but on Ireta the dinosaurs ruled in all their bizarre splendour, roaming a planet as mystifying as any in the galaxy. And the expedition sent to explore it was trapped within its coils when their relief ship disappeared. Soon the Heavyworlders reverted to type, and as predatory carnivores hunted down their colleagues, only the frozen sleep of cryogenics offered an escape
- but for how long?
Here is the BARD description:
The Federated Sentient Planets launch a mission to Ireta to locate new energy sources and study the life forms. As Kai and Varian, the expedition leaders, compile the data, they discover that the strange animal life originated on prehistoric Earth. When their spaceship disappears, they fear they have been abandoned on Ireta as part of an experiment.
Come join us next month for what sounds like a fun read.
Evan
