- <p>The final Flashback begins ... It's all led to this.</p> <p>All the characters and situations of the <em>Flashback/Dinosaur Apocalypse</em> come together in a final trilogy of tales that will close out and define the saga. Join Ank and Williams, the crew of <em>Gargantua,</em> the kids from <em>Thunder Road,</em> and so many others as they heed the call to adventure one last time and face the very architects of the Flashback!</p> <p>Welcome to the world of the Flashback, a world in which man's cities have become overgrown jungles and extinct animals wander the ruins. You can survive here, if you're lucky, and if you're not in the wrong place at the wrong time--which is everywhere, all the time. But what you'll never do is remain the same, for this is a world whose very purpose is to challenge you, a world where anything can and will happen. 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>From <em>This Savage and Beautiful Night:</em></p> <p>He looked at the sky; at the Flashback Borealisーnow diminished by the sunーand the drifting lights (which were of a color no one had ever seen). "Because the truth is, I have been closer to their dark materials than anyoneーanyone here in Barley, that's for sure. And I am telling you: there was something in their voices this time that wasn't there before, something, I think, that they've never experienced. And that's fear."</p> <p>At which the amphitheater fell ghostly silent, at least for a moment.</p> <p>"Well, fear of what, exactly?" called a man with a stump for a hand (his name was Roger), at last. "They're sure as hell not afraid of us."</p> <p>Francis just shook his head. "I don't know. Fear of whatever's at the center of that labyrinth; which is why they're gathering on it. Maybe even the fear that it will somehow affect their precious Flashback ..."</p> <p>"Wait a minute, wait a minute," blurted someoneーsome punk kid, I believe his name was Lonny. "So you're saying there's two conflicting forcesーsort of like a football gameーone of which is responsible for the Flashback, while the other is even now beckoning to us?" He laughed and slapped his hat against his hip. "Well, hell, man, sign me up with the Beckoner! Let's do this!"</p> <p>Laughter; laughter and riotous applauseーwhich devolved into chaosーas Bella Ray threw up her arms and someone tossed torn paper (like confetti) and something parted the crowd like a float, like a tank. Something that turned out to be an armored dinosaur (an ankylosaurus) with a man walking beside it, a duo I knew to be the great Ank and Williams themselvesーveterans of the Dinosaur War and the Bearers of the Hammer. The Legends of the North.</p> <p>"That's just precisely what he's saying," shouted Williams assuredly, authoritatively. "And he's exactly right to do soーbecause that's the situation." He looked at Francis, who brought him the cordless microphone. "And it's high time we accepted it; and started drawing up our plans. Because friendsーfellow survivors, veterans of the Big One and all those who have come here because they heard Radio Free Montana, it's all come down to this."</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。
