It's one year after egg-laden meteorites came down along the Continental Divide in Montana and Idaho, hatching out hundreds of Cretaceous dinosaurs. It's a new summer and Dromaeosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Triceratops are on the loose. Paleontologists/dinosaur trackers Hayden Fowler and Nora Lemoyne are bestselling authors, fresh off the huge success of their first book detailing their close encounters with the Cretaceous beasts last summer. During this summer's hunt, the couple runs into some harrowing surprises as they collect material for their second book. Helicopter pilot Peter Lacroix, unhappy flying for the Forest Service, resigns to become Hayden and Nora's personal pilot. The money is good, but the risks are greater. Peter's pregnant and angst-ridden wife, Brin, wants him to quit flying. Jackson Lattimer is a celebrity wildlife videographer with a reckless reputation. The media has dubbed him "America's Gonzo Shutterbug." He befriends Hayden, joining him on several treacherous outings. Bryan and Loretta Gilliam live on Gilliam's Guidepost ranch, home of last summer's famous dinosaur habitats. Their ranch serves as the heliport and home base for dinosaur study. Kelton Rendaya is an equine veterinarian moonlighting as an animal trafficker. His life implodes when he starts trafficking dinosaurs. Additionally, Indigenous women are disappearing off reservations. The authorities are indifferent, claiming the women are being taken by carnivores. One of the women is Kanti Lyttle, the Blackfoot wife of a longtime Gilliam ranch hand, so Bryan Gilliam gets involved. His investigation leads to Kelton Rendaya. Is the animal trafficker also a human trafficker? A helicopter flight into Idaho's River of No Return Wilderness in search of Tyrannosaurs turns deadly. The team of six learns a harsh lesson-the dragons of the Continental Divide are ruthlessly unforgiving.
