This plan has a few flaws, the number one flaw being that Antarctica is the angriest place on Earth. Because no one would be impressed if he came off the plane with a little bitty six-inch tall dinosaur that was 65 million years old. Radiation! It's all part of Tarosh’s plan to make himself famous by letting the dinosaur grow to full size, then putting it on an airplane and flying to New York City where he’ll wow the world with his enormous dinosaur. Show some respect, okay?”įive seconds later it eats the cook's fingers. Of course, it’s only six inches tall, but as Kelly Sawyer says when the guys are goofing around with it, “Hey, you shut up, you dickheads! This ain’t no Disneyland show. Extinct for sixty-five million years, but now, thanks to the miracle of the ice, alive once more to walk the earth.” “An infant Tyrannosaurus rex, largest and fiercest of the land-based predators of the late Cretaceous. And as Kelly Sawyer points out, the Arctic is shielded from most environmental radiation so there's nothing to worry about, right? RIGHT? Well, it turns out that Tarosh brought some radioactive waste along, just to test different storage techniques, and it’s in the exact same room where the dinosaur egg is sitting, and 18 hours later they have. I hate to tell y’all, but she survives to the very last page.įortunately, nothing can make the egg hatch faster except radiation. "And not just to the EPA! I’m going to report you to the UN to the World Court!” “Who do you think you are?” she exclaims.
That does not please Valentine Tarosh, the ex-KGB officer heading up the Russian half of this joint Russian/USA drilling partnership.a partnership that wants to turn Antarctica into a secret dumping ground for nuclear waste! “What do you think you’re doing?” Kelly Sawyer explodes. And when she discovers that they’ve discovered a live dinosaur egg, she of course threatens to go to CNN because “this discovery belongs to the world!”
She may be a “hot little number” and a “blond babe” but she’s also an enormous pain in the ass. She complains that the helicopter ride is too rough, that they’re using sled dogs instead of snowmobiles, that the weather is too cold, the ice is too dirty, their drilling techniques are too dangerous, and no one told her how long this job was going to take. Kelly Sawyer is a bio-consultant for the EPA who flies to the mysterious Deepcore Station in Antarctica to find out what they’re up to, and she won’t stop complaining.
