Investigating
strange sightings of an unknown animal in the Forest of Dean
Professor Nick
Cutter is an evolutionary zoologist who finds himself confronted
with the subject of his studies in a way he could never have
imagined.
Could a small lizard, picked up by a young boy in the woods,
really be an entirely new species?
As night falls
Cutter and his team find the forest has become a menacing place
and they come face to face with a Scutosaurus, a giant
vegetarian beast straight from the Permian Era of 250 million
years ago. More worrying is the sight of dead cow hauled
high into a tree.

The young boy's
tales of a flesh hungry monster at his window may sound like
nonsense to his mother, but his story confirms Cutter's worst
fears... A savage Gorgonopsid, one of the most dangerous
predators of the Permian Era is on the loose.
Where on earth
are these creatures coming from? An evolutionary throwback? An
experimental hybrid? The Scutosaurus leads the team to their
answer.
Prehistoric
creatures have burst through a rip in time.
