✦ Synopsis

Toroca, a Quintaglio geologist, is under attack for his controversial new theory of evolution. But the origins of his people turn out to be more complex than even he imagined, for he soon discovers the wreckage of an ancient starship - a relic of the aliens who transplanted Earth's dinosaurs to this solar system. Now Toroca must convince Emperor Dybo that evolution is true; otherwise, the territorial violence the Quintaglios inherited from their tyrannosaur ancestors will destroy the last survivors of Earth's prehistoric past.

Toroca, son of Afsan the Far-Seer, pushes his skills as a geologist to the limit on a quest for rare metals. If he succeeds, the raw materials will enable his race of intelligent saurians to travel to the stars. Instead, Toroca discovers an ancient artifact that may at last reveal the true origins of his people . . . and may destroy the very foundation of the saurian faith! Original.
