"Set in one gloomy afternoon at the end of the Cretaceous, the hatchling Poharex is watched by the loving eyes of his mother. Meanwhile, his father, the king, watches in terror as the wheels of a great prophecy set in motion, and the greatest trial for his family and his kind looms ahead."

imo it's a pity that Time stopped doing the little corner picture with a second cover story - "and if dinosaurs don't grab you, we've got some stuff about Reagan too"
