In rural Wisconsin, wonder clashes dangerously with corporate greed when
an alien visitor opens up a gateway through time into a breathtaking
prehistoric lost world.
On sabbatical from teaching at a small university, paleontologist Asa
Steele is content to relax amid the pastoral splendor of his Wisconsin
farm. That is until his dog starts bringing home unrecognizable
artifacts and, strangest of all, fresh dinosaur bones.
Since boyhood, Asa has heard the rumors of a UFO crash site nearby, and
his encounter with a cat-faced alien life form proves the old story to
be shockingly true. A gregarious immortal stranded on Earth for 50,000
years, Catface has the power to create portals in time, and now he has
opened a gateway into a prehistoric world of wonder and beauty, a place
Asa calls "Mastodonia."
But keeping this idyllic realm a secret from a prying government and the
greedy corporate entities it serves could prove impossible - and
perilous - when there are resources to drain, land to despoil, and
gargantuan vanished beasts from a distant age to hunt down and destroy
in the name of profit.
