This science-fiction novel, the first volume of the Thunderstruck
Series, describes the discovery of a prehistoric world that was
created by the draining of the Western Interior Cretaceous Seaway.
It exists in what could be described as a massive geode that is
located beneath the Badlands of South Dakota, the formation of
which resulted from the whirlpool that took the inland ocean
underground. The ecosystem of this environment is sustained by
chemosynthesis, the same process supporting life around the
hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the world's oceans. What was
supposed to have been an unmanned incursion becomes first a rescue
mission and then a fight for survival when the top-secret rescue
vehicle is badly damaged. The unwitting explorers find themselves
at risk from not only a host of prehistoric creatures but also
possible exposure to a lethal microorganism that is found to
inhabit this domain. Unfortunately, even these terrors pale in
comparison to the nightmare they discover living in the one section
of the immense cavern they had believed to be safe, a predator more
horrifying than anything that has walked the face of the earth
since before the age of the dinosaurs. And it has just found its
way back to the surface
