“Scesero come tre frecce argentate, trafiggendo l'oscurità. Arcuate e nitide, come capita a volte con i raggi di sole al termine di una tempesta. Non parevano fatti della stessa materia del mondo in cui stavano entrando. Erano concreti, vibranti: tre stiletti d'acciaio conficcati nel corpo della dimensione digitale. L'essenza della Creatura vibrò, cercando nuove configurazioni più complesse. Pepi non capiva se per prepararsi ad andarsene o per riuscire ad afferrarli. Riconobbe personaggi di vecchi giochi, fotografie della sua infanzia, spezzoni di video e immagini.”

“Nariko and Mitsu hugged their scraped arms as they walked barefoot through the forest toward the hideout. The ground pricked and chilled their toes until they could hardly feel what they walked upon. Having been built during the warm season, the hideout had provided cool shade and all-important privacy for secret discussions between girls. Nariko had fond memories of those times. Mitsu, a year older, always had something inter-esting to say about how the world worked.”
― Alex Redwood, Nariko's Map

“She's a fiercely protective croc-mom — she's never hesitated to rush from the water, openmouthed, at any dinosaur or male croc that got too close to her progeny. This threat, accompanied by extravagant splashing, always worked”
― Robert T. Bakker, Raptor Red
