Extinction: Dragons of Earth: A Novel
Dinosaur and man battle to save their planet!
Half a century ago, human civilization on Earth came to an end. Sure, the dinosaurs were brought into the modern era. That was maybe bad enough, but it was something that could be controlled. It became a problem when a green-skinned little megalomaniac, a side-project of the genetics experiments, decided that the behemoths would be an ideal means to stamp out the human race literally. Some chemical tweaking, released into the planet's atmosphere, turned the already-dangerous dinosaurs into maddened, over-muscled machines of destruction.
The Dino Wars rampaged around the globe. Eventually, the chemical enhancements were overcome, & the remaining rogues burned out. An uneasy peace returned to the largely depopuated planet, & the surviving humans learned to live as part of the new ecosystem.
Things are starting to go really well. Then the aliens remember that there's this backwater planet they once visited, where there are plenty of resources available for the taking.
The Earth must be saved. All that has to happen is that a few scattered pockets of humans must figure out how to work together. And they need to fight side-by-side with their former enemies, the dinosaurs.
