From the Publisher:
A completely unique and utterly compelling story of a year in the life of a female raptor dinosaur. Set in the early Cretaceous Age, it opens with an instantly gripping scene in which she and her mate attack a giant astrodon. Raptor Red's mate is killed in the attack, and so she begins a year-long odyssey of survival in which she joins up with her sister's clan, is nearly killed in a flash flood, hunts and eats iguanodons, migrates to the Pacific Ocean, meets a potential new mate, and eventually pair-bonds and produces her own chicks. Vividly described, the novel is convincingly told from inside Raptor Red's mind, and paints a rich and colorful picture of the lush and exotic flora and fauna of her prehistoric world.
