She was taken to a strange, very dangerous but beautiful world. Perhaps a better place ... for her.
Teenage Hailey Sharpe loved California, online friends and Manga. Then her family relocates to a place her parents never envisioned. Unknown forces rip them from their comfortable life as they flee Earth to the dark regions of orbiting Skyport, are swept along by mysterious strangers and start an even more incredible journey to the ‘boonies’ of Old, Old Earth. There she meets strange people and discovers a magical, pandora-like universe quite different from anything she could imagine. Hailey begins creating pictures of strange monsters existing side-by-side with exotic animals of great beauty and song, finding danger, savagery, and tenderness in this strange world. She discovers a strange affinity to her new life, an existence that excels in beauty, cruelty, and love. A universe with a lurking hidden danger that no one else seems to notice until all seems lost and she emerges as the one possible savior.

Construction laborer, carpenter, toolmaker, photographer, historian, physicist, metallurgist, materials engineer, semiconductor scientist, researcher, marketing manager, executive, CEO, entrepreneur, world traveler and most of all a father ... and I've loved every minute of it!
Terrence Zavecz is a semi-retired physicist/engineer/entrepreneur who has been an avid Sci-Fi and History reader for all his life. Sci-Fi was the seed that germinated his professional career in the sciences and drives his love for the cultures of the world. He has written non-fiction for more than forty years and more than a few fictional market proposals and grant submissions.
A vocation in research, marketing and new company startups resulted in years of living and travel across every part of the globe providing more time to read Sci-Fi and the chance to meet many wonderful people and learn the beauty of ancient cultures.
Today, retirement from the sciences presents a chance to start a new career as a writer of speculative science and historic fiction. After a few self-published novels, he spent three years learning the unique style and demands of commercial fiction under the tutelage of Steve Alten, NY Times best-selling author of MEG & VOSTOK. The soon-to-be-released novel, Crucible of a Species is the result of this endeavor.
Zavecz holds advanced degrees in Engineering Physics, Metallurgy and Materials Science.
Really a good book. Lots of action and dino drama. Not as much as other two book in series, but it will do just fine. I would have given an it a give star, but I got overweight the techno-babble. Still, I will recommend this book and look forward to more in this series. Gotta love Gabe!
