Alpha: The End of the Dinosaurs

Jack Schneider

The Mesozoic era, aka "The Age of Dinosaurs," spans the period of time on Earth from 250-65 million years ago. We know that the dinosaurs have gone extinct, but has anyone ever thought about what their last days were like?In this book, you will follow the story of an Acheroraptor named Alpha and learn about the Earth as it was 65 million years ago. You will experience: * A pack of raptors on the hunt and their confrontation with a larger predator* The impact of the asteroid and the 24 hours of hell on Earth that followed* The months after the impact and the factors that drove dinosaurs to extinctionThe information provided in Alpha has been gathered from credentialed paleontologists such as Dr. Jim Kirkland, Dr, Philip Currie, Dr. Thomas Holtz, Jr., Dr. Thomas Carr, and Dr. Penny Higgins, as well as from multiple books and documentaries. This is currently our best theory as to what happened 65 million years ago.Alpha puts a new spin on one of Earth's oldest stories. It's a must-have for the dinosaur fan's library, and a great starter for those new to the field.
