Paleontologist Susan Matthews-Loomis is nearing the end of her six month post-doctorate stint in the equatorial rainforest of West Africa under the direction of the renowned Dr. Eric Kiviat. While Susan is dismayed that her dream of finding a dinosaur bone, let alone an entire dinosaur skeleton, did not happen, her husband, George Loomis, who put his sports reporting career on hold to support Susan, is at least happy that they will be returning to the civilization of the United States so that they can resume their lives. What Susan is unaware of is that the few bones she found that she thought were dinosaur bones that Eric told her were giraffe bones were indeed dinosaur, Eric trying to throw her off the track of any such find so that he could report whatever find based on her search as his own after she's gone, and that he has already killed to protect his leads. On the day Susan and George are supposed to leave to head back to the States, Susan, without telling Eric and only leaving a note for George as to her intention, heads further up river to do some work outside her mandate, but which she believes may be related to her bones. As George eventually catches up with her, they not only find dinosaur bones, but a live family of brontosauruses: a set of parents and a female hatchling. This find could make Susan's career if they can report it. However, they have to battle some natural elements of the region to make it out alive. In addition, Eric, his associate Nigel Jenkins, and a small army of African mercenaries Eric has hired are hot on their tail, Eric who will do anything to make this find his own. Through it all, Susan and George will protect the brontosauruses, especially the hatchling, against Eric's self-interested objectives at all cost, even if it means not reporting the find.—Huggo
