Alpha and Omega — A Science Fantasy
Somewhere beyond the Milky Way lies Plateo, a planet not so different from our own until nuclear war leaves it scarred and its people struggling to rebuild. Among their greatest losses are the Plateosauruses, dinosaurs found nowhere else in the galaxy. When two uncontaminated eggs are recovered on a devastated Dinosaur Island, President Karabe makes a bold decision: to send them across the stars to Earth, where they will be hidden safely in a remote cave in the Rocky Mountains.
There, in the quiet of the mountains, the eggs hatch into two small, curious dinosaurs, Alpha and Omega, whose names mean “the beginning and the end.” They should have stayed hidden. Instead, two young Boy Scouts on a summer camping trip find them first, and nothing in the farming town of Glennview will ever be quite the same again.
Part interstellar adventure, part small-town coming-of-age story, Alpha and Omega follows a cast of unforgettable characters from a brave space captain and her steady pilot to two mischief-prone boys who refuse to let their secret go as two worlds collide with humor, heart, and a little bit of danger.
Beautifully illustrated by Mary Redman, Alpha and Omega is a heartwarming science fantasy for readers who love a story where courage, friendship, and a healthy respect for the world around us win the day.
