Dinosaur Apocalypse teaser
Many years ago, no one’s sure exactly how long, humanity seemed like it was finally starting to take responsibility for its transgressions. Our species carbon emissions were capped, and began to drop as the years went by. The use of fossil fuels was coming to an end as the worlds best and brightest came up with safer and cleaner alternatives. When the effects of our efforts became tangible, it helped to ignite a revival in all things scientific. Our eyes turned to the stars with renewed interest, while research into biotechnology grew exponentially down here on terra firma, to the extent that “prehistoric parks”, as they wer

I spent most of the next two weeks studying for the tranquilizer test. Having yet to take it, my duties in the park were relegated to the feeding trains.

The Game Keeper Diaries, Chapter 1 : Arrival
I can remember looking out of the window at the deep blue of the Pacific far below me. It stretched for as far as the eye could see in every direction, my view being occasionally interrupted by a wisp of cloud, but otherwise unobstructed. The sense of insignificance that I felt compared to the vastness of the ocean had been with me since I had left San Diego a couple days prior. I had changed planes first in Hawaii, and then in American Samoa, where I boarded a sleek looking white and blue seaplane, and was en route to my destination, the island of Lautokamanu.
Situated on the coral atoll of Motu Hanu, one of Lautokamanus barrier islands,
