  • <p>Welcome to the Big Empty, the world after the Flashback ... a world in which most the population has vanished and where dinosaurs roam freely. You can survive here, if you're lucky, and if you're not in the wrong place at the wrong time--which is everywhere and all the time. But what you'll never do is remain the same--for this is a world whose very purpose is to change you: for better or for worse. So take a deep dive into these loosely connected tales of the Dinosaur Apocalypse (each of which can be read individually or as a part of the greater saga): tales of wonder and terror, death and survival, blood ... and beauty. Do it today ... before the apocalypse comes.</p> <p>* * *</p> <p>I looked at the nearest mount, a triceratops head with a broken horn (and a frightful visage), wondering what the circumstances of its death had been. Had it been chargingーwith the Flashback in its eyes, perhapsーand thus aware that it had an opponent? Or had it been unaware, just mulling its soft grasses, until the bullet entered its brain?</p> <p>"No," I said, finally, turning my attention back to him. "Can't exactly say as I am. Itーit's never seemed like a fair contest to me." I jerked my leg against the chainーtwiceーto make a point. "Does it to you?"</p> <p>"Pshaw," he protested. "You speak as if we're enemies. As though this were some contest between you and I, personally. On the contrary, Mr. Hayes. It's a collaboration."</p> <p>I'm afraid I just stared at him.</p> <p>At last I said: "Okayーwhy not. I'll bite. What are you talking about?"</p> <p>"I am talking, Mr. Hayes …" He stood and began pacing the length of the table. "ーabout legend. About myth and memoryーand the securing of one's place in the natural order of things." He withdrew something from his housecoat as he walkedーa pipe; but didn't light it. "Posterity is what I'm talking about. A place at the table of the gods. That, and endings. Inevitabilities."</p> <p>He paused and struck a match. "One last and penultimate hunt."</p> <p>He lit the pipe and waved out the match, then turned, slowly, regarding me through a cloud of smoke. "Atatilla, is what I'm talking about. Queen of the Mammoths. The, ah, Leviathan of the Steppes, as they say. I intend to kill her. And you, my lost and wayward friend, are going to help me. By acting as my driver."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
