Now time has elapsed - how much is hard to tell, but at least two generations - and the survivors emerge from their hibernation. Ireta, the Dinosaur Planet, is much changed. The heavyworlders have regressed to primitive barbarity. Much necessary life-support equipment has malfunctioned or disappeared. The very face of Ireta has altered. But help is at hand - a rescue ship is on its way. Even as hope begins to spring, however, new problems arise. What are the motives of the mysterious Theks? Why are the intelligent Giffs - pterodactyls locked in an evolutionary blind alley - acting so strangely? Above all, what possibly could be the cause of the mindless hostility of the heavy worlders? The Survivors - for them there was more at stake than simple survival:- (original cost £1.95).
