In rural Wisconsin, wonder clashes dangerously with corporate greed
when an alien visitor opens up a gateway through time into a
breathtaking prehistoric lost world On sabbatical from teaching at
a small university, paleontologist Asa Steele is content to relax
amidst the pastoral splendor of his Wisconsin farm. That is, until
his dog starts bringing home unrecognizable artifacts and,
strangest of all, fresh dinosaur bones. Since boyhood, Asa has
heard the rumors of a UFO crash site nearby, and his encounter with
a cat-faced alien life form proves the old story to be shockingly
true. A gregarious immortal stranded on Earth for fifty thousand
years, Catface has the power to create portals in time, and now he
has opened a gateway into a prehistoric world of wonder and beauty,
a place Asa calls "Mastodonia." But keeping this idyllic realm a
secret from a prying government and the greedy corporate entities
it serves could prove impossible--and perilous--when there are
resources to drain, land to despoil, and gargantuan vanished beasts
from a distant age to hunt down and destroy in the name of profit.
Clifford D. Simak's glorious vision of a gateway to the past and of
the tantalizing commercial potential of all things prehistoric
predates Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park by many years, yet it
remains as provocative, enthralling, and fun for
twenty-first-century science fiction lovers as it was for its
original readers. Breathtaking, thrilling, imaginative, and
awe-inspiring, Mastodonia is a world that, once entered, can never
be forgotten, such is the unique creative genius of legendary
science fiction Grand Master Simak, one of the most revered writers
ever to dream the future . . . and the past.
