Mike Resnick and Martin H. Greenberg have called upon such gifted writers as Robert Sheckley, Pat Cadigan, Frank M. Robinson, Judith Tarr, Mercedes Lackey, Larry Dixon, Bill Fawcett, Katherine Kerr, David Gerrold, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch to create these twenty-five stories of the most terrifying and fascinating creatures to ever inhabit the Earth: the dinosaurs. From their native Jurassic landscape to your own backyard, from their ancient mastery of the planet to modern-day curiosities trapped in an age not their own, from the earth-shaking tyrannosaur to the sky-soaring pterodactyl, here are unforgettable tales-some poignant, some humorous, some offering answers to the greatest puzzle of prehistory. But all are certain to capture the hearts and imaginations of dinosaur lovers of all ages.

[Deutsch] Von prähistorischen Juralandschaften, dem urzeitlichen Lebensraum der Dinosaurier, bis zum postmodernen Zeitalter, in dem sie ihre wundersame Wiedergeburt erleben, von den erderschütternden Tyrannosauriern bis zu den himmelstürmenden Pteranodonen reicht das Themenspektrum dieser 25 Originalstories, die spielerisch den ungeheuren Zeitsprung von Jahrmillionen überwinden: Geschichten aus dem Dino-Park, die aggressive und witzige, überraschende und schockierende Antworten auf das größte Rätsel der Vorzeit geben.
