3142 AD. Humanity is on the verge of extinction after genetically engineered dinosaurs reclaimed the planet during the Dino Wars. Adam Caine lives in the secluded city of Bastion with other human survivors and peace-loving dinosaurs. When an old biological weapon that threatens all dinosaur life is activated. Adam knows it is down to him to stop it. With the help of his sister Chloe and best friend Dag, a tech-savvy iguanadon, Adam must find four Dilotron crystals before time runs out. However, one might just be at the center of a city full of carnivorous raptors. This is the first book in a four-book series which follows the adventures of Adam and the rest of his motley crew.
