Publisher's Synopsis
"You can shield yourself behind all the laws and legal fights that will happen from being an inspector and never have the time to work with raptors unless you quit that career . . . Or you could be on the cutting-edge science of training domestic raptors. But the choice is yours. And you have to make it now." Autumn McKinney is the daughter of a renowned exotic animal veterinarian-turned-government official of West America, inheriting his gift of compassion towards animals of all species. In her lifetime, several species of the once-extinct, warm-blooded proto-avians of the prehistoric age were cloned and carefully bred towards domestication. With a determination that surprised herself, Autumn dove headlong into research that lead her to the beginning of understanding their minds and behaviors. Smarter than apes, unbreakable bonds to those whom they considered their Alpha, their reconception was considered a miracle. But if Autumn was determined to follow in her father's footsteps, how could she dedicate herself to the propagation of Utahraptor regenesis?
