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?
I was a bit surprised by how little Wyman was actually in the story considering the series is named after him. But I have a feeling that Tom will be a recurring character in the future book as Wyman's business partner... Another surprise was Rexie's point-of-view!

I was very interested in reading the fictitious explanation of what happened...

We can't wait to see the new movie, but luckily there's plenty of dino-mite literature to enjoy in the meantime.
