Publication Information
A moon rock missing for thirty years...Five buckets
of blood-soaked sand found in a New Mexico canyon...A scientist with ambition
enough to kill...A monk who will redeem the world...A dark agency with a
deadly mission...The greatest scientific discovery of all time...What fire
bolt from the galactic dark shattered the Earth eons ago, and now hides in
that remote cleft in the southwest U.S. known as . . . Tyrannosaur Canyon?
'Lively yet ridiculous, the narrative loses all plausibility as it becomes clear that the characters do what they do solely in order to keep the plot churning to its conclusion....The recent real-life discovery of a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil containing soft tissue makes this particularly timely.' - PW.
