Under Strain And Theropods
Under Strain, the 2nd story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in early May), is set on Rohini 9. The main predators on Rohini 9 are theropods, velociraptor-like dinosaurs.
Theropods are known for their hollow bones and their three-toed arms and legs. On Earth, they lived from the Early Jurassic period until the close of the Cretaceous period (and perhaps longer). ‘Famous’ theropods include the velociraptor, the T-Rex, and the spinosaurus.
Birds evolved from theropods. Like birds, some theropods were carnivores. Some were herbivores. Some ate fish. Some ate insects.
The theropods on Rohini 9 are definitely carnivores. They eat the caviomorphs (giant rat-like creatures), the avialans (bird-like creatures) and humans like our heroine. When the cyborgs land on the planets, they try to eat them also.
Rohini 9’s theropods are intelligent. They communicate with each other and are skilled hunters. That makes them worthy and fun foes for the cyborgs. The warriors have a blast on Rohini 9. (grins)
