January 2018 Debut of the Month  |  In a Nutshell: Exhilarating escapism, dystopian devastation and dinosaurs

A thrilling fast-paced romp through an alternate world in which resources are scarce, and humans have been pushed to the edge by man-eating dinosaurs.

With reptilian ravagers occupying huge swathes of land, the Earthasian authorities have invited intrepid citizens to collect dinosaur eggs from the island of Piloria. The eggs will enable scientists to “get to the root of dinosaur DNA”, with the ultimate aim of eliminating these “vicious, mindless creatures” so humans can occupy their territory. While few are expected to survive the terrifying trial, the winner’s prize is priceless – they will be awarded unlimited food and access to healthcare, which is what motivates Lincoln to enter. His sister is dying and this is his only chance to save her. Parentless Stormchaser isn’t exactly sure why she’s decided to enter, except she’s sick of her life in one of Earthasia’s grim Shelters, and has an instinctive urge to explore. With her kick-ass attitude, dogged determination and striking eyes, Storm is your archetypal feisty YA heroine, and the conflict that arises from her feelings of affinity with dinosaurs create an extra fizz of tension alongside the relentless dangers of the trial. “Shouldn't every living creature have the same chance of survival?” she wonders. Throughout, morality is pitted against personal preservation, and fans of fast-paced, quest-driven fiction will surely be left desperate for the second installment of this strident series.  ~ Joanne Owen
