Highly intelligent dinosaurs come back to reclaim the earth as their home.

" When a high-speed chase goes terribly wrong, Santa Fe police officer Dan Page watches in horror as a car and gas tanker explode into flames. Torn with guilt that he may be responsible, Page returns home to discover that his wife, Tori, has disappeared. Frantic, Page follows her trail to Rostov, a remote town in Texas famous for a massive astronomical observatory, a long-abandoned military base, and unexplained nighttime phenomena that draw onlookers from every corner of the globe. Many of these gawkers - Tori among them - are compelled to visit this tiny community to witness the mysterious Rostov Lights. Without warning, a gunman begins firing on the lights, screaming "Go back to hell where you came from," then turns his rifle on the bystanders. A bloodbath ensues, and events quickly spiral out of control, setting the stage for even greater violence and death. Page must solve the mystery of the Rostov Lights to save his wife. In the process, he learns that the decaying military base may not be abandoned at all, and that the government may have known about the lights for decades. Could these phenomena be more dangerous than anyone could have possibly imagined?" - Taken from cover p.4.

Niceville es una de aquellas ciudades casi demasiado tranquilas hasta que desaparece un niño al salir del colegio y reaparece vivo dentro de una tumba antigua. Si no fuera por el acantilado gigantesco cuya sombra oscurece gran parte de la ciudad, Niceville sería uno de los lugares más bellos del sur de Estados Unidos. Este acantilado forma un muro inmenso cubierto de musgo y enredaderas, tan ancho y tan alto que existen casas donde no llega la luz del sol hasta después del mediodía. En la cima se encuentra un bosque espeso de árboles longevos y allí, justo en el centro, está lo que todos llaman el sumidero del cráter, siempre lleno de agua helada, oscura y, según la gente mayor, sin fondo. Sin embargo, a pesar de las sombras, la vida de Niceville es tranquila y apacible hasta que Rainey Teague, un niño de diez años, desaparece de la calle principal. Una cámara de seguridad capta el momento justo en el que se esfuma sin ninguna explicación. Pero esto es solo el comienzo.
