One day, a rich man, impressed by a detective play Rasti directed, asks him to investigate who murdered his son and kidnapped his daughter. Rasti starts the task, without a plan, as always. He has to escape twice, the second time to his imaginary world; The Silver Land and its dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Period, where he is known as Tatanka Igluha (The Free Buffalo). Tatanka does the dinosaurs a great favor, but he also harms them, and he sees how the city defeated him once more, now in his beloved world. He goes back to his original world, deciding to play the game of force and deceit like the others, and not to let the city defeat him this time.----------Link to the English version:https://www.amazon.com/dp/9933916416

Download or read book Night Comes to the Cretaceous written by James Lawrence Powell and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What killed the dinosaurs? For more than a century, this question has been one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science. But, in 1980, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Luis Alvarez and his son, Walter, proposed a radical answer: 65 million years ago an asteroid or comet as big as Mt. Everest slammed into the earth, raising a dust cloud vast enough to cause mass extinction. A revolutionary idea that challenged the ice-age extinction theory, the asteroid-impact theory was scorned and derided by the science community. But after years of bitter debate and intense research, an astonishing discovery was made-an immense impact crater in the Yucatan Peninsula that was identified as Ground Zero. The Alvarezes had their proof. A dramatic scientific detective story, Night Comes to the Cretaceous is a brilliant example of science at work-in the trenches, complete with passionate struggles and occasional victories. "
