You’ve gotta start somewhere. This is post one for me. On this blog, I plan to share with readers some entertaining and enlightening communications I have received from certain people you may have met in one of my stories. Among them, Dr. Peyton McKean, whom I have billed as “The Greatest Mind Since Sherlock Holmes,” will try to live up to his reputation as a scientific crime investigator of extraordinary skill. Those following the adventures of Chase Armstrong and Kit Daniels of “Dinosaur Wars” fame, will learn of the latest doings of these two young people as they struggle to live, love, and avoid being eaten, in a world filled with huge beasts of the past. Or Dr. David Ogilvey, their old paleontologist mentor and head of the Catterall Institute in Montana, who knows better than anyone how dinosaurs managed to return to earth — from outer space!
Whether the news comes to me from Dr. McKean and his medical writer sidekick, Fin Morton, engaged in some intrigues with a new bio-weapon, or from a dark corner of the 65 million-year-old buried city of Arran Kra, now under excavation in Montana, I’ll try to faithfully pass it along without undue delay, and of course without censorship. Why delete any detail of the breathtaking scientific leaps these people are making? Why ignore their day to day tribulations, as when Dr. McKean had to cure himself of a deadly engineered smallpox virus before he could go on to save the world? If Chase has to defend Kit and Dr. Ogilvey from a T rex attack armed with nothing but a stick, why not tell the world?
I hope you’ll come by from time to time to see what new trouble these folks have gotten themselves into — and out of.
Thanks for stopping by — Tom Hopp
