About this ebook
A Portia Oakeshott, Dinosaur Veterinarian short story
As a young girl, Portia Oakeshott dreamed of caring for the reconstructed dinosaurs roaming the preserve near the south pole of her home planet, New New South Wales.
Today, the company's mission to deploy a new breed of Kunbarrasaur runs into religious fanatics protesting the restoration of extinct species.
Fanatics capable of sabotage. Or worse.
Can Portia face down the fanatics' leader, or will the opposition triumph?
