First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the dinosaur apocalypse.How did it all begin? That depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather-which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there,...

At last Beth takes out her phone and dials Dr. Lairman-there is no answer. She hangs up and dials her mother. She gets the operator instead: "We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service. If you feel you have reached this message in error, please try again."
She hears the sound of helicopters in the distance, very faintly. And something else: military jets.
She tries the number again-gets the same...

The steel mesh started to break: first one joint, then another. Napoleon stood sideways on the fence like a parrot, his splay toes gripping the bars. He braced himself with his legs and pulled at the grid with his teeth. The muscles of his neck rippled; his growl was a steady trill. Metal squealed as he peeled a section back.Lightning flashed nearby, followed by a crack-kaboom! In the wash of light, the man saw the dinosaur looking at him. Glaring...

As she draws closer, she realizes that the bright lights are a combination of police lights and construction floods. Tragically, there appears to have been yet another accident. She slows to a crawl as she arrives at the scene … is waved around it by a state trooper, at which point she observes a small truck spun around on the shoulder-with a tarp draped over it-and a group of men garbed in green chemical suits, their faces hidden from view just...

It was all too much-the car that had been buried for 52 years yet started right up, the flashback to the 1960s and the ghostly girl, the bugs the size of dogs whose stench filled the cab and caused me to wretch. I gripped the door handle instantly-even as the little chrome knob dropped, locking me in. Then we were accelerating-abruptly, powerfully-whipping around the cars in front of us and blasting through the intersection: the girl vanishing, just...

Red looked about the room, still disoriented. Spying it, he rushed toward it and snatched it up, even as Charlotte called, "Let's hurry it up, we've got company!"
Red handed Corbin the weapon and they exchanged uneasy glances. It was an exchange that set Red's hair on end, for the cop's eyes said one thing very clearly: I could leave you here right now, asshole. Because seconds count … and it might just come down to you or me.
Then he set his...

First there was the Flashback. Then came the Flashback Dawn. At last came the Flashback Twilight ...
They streamed out from the tree line in a veritable blitzkrieg, the guns of the tanks rotating and firing, the foot soldiers alternately taking cover behind vehicles and squeezing off bursts, the raptors and triceratops and stegosaurs charging-as Red and Charlotte and Roger and Savanna continued shooting and the children ran ammo and Bella lit the...

Corbin snatched the rifle off his shoulder in a flash and everyone ducked-but he was pointing it at the ceiling, not the Chairman. "Shhh," he said, and cocked his head. "Just listen."
Charlotte did so, her ears still ringing. Slowly it became manifest: the sound of cavern raptors barking amidst the catacombs, barking and seeming to answer themselves, and something else, which answered them all. The Cat. The smilodon. The saber-toothed tiger which...

Naaygi found them waiting for her-as she somehow knew they would be-as the cage doors opened, their forward-facing eyes glinting the same hue as the lights in the sky and their dark, storm-colored bodies held absolutely still (even as another animal joined them and brought their number to four). She even knew somehow what they were; that they were a breed of carnosaur the evolved" humans had called nanotyrannosaurs, the Pygmy Tyrants," and that one...

As it never had before the Flashback, the supermarket slept, mostly. Although its exterior was covered with creeper vines and mossy growths, its interior remained remarkably unchanged-even its power continued to hum. Still, the long lights that hung suspended over its aisles had largely gone dead; and of those that remained live, many had begun to flicker and fail. No humans walked the once-polished floors of the Ozark Food and Drug Supercenter, nor...
