Synopsis: From the back cover of the Ace first edition: "The sacred scrolls teach that the first intelligent saurians emerged from the eighth and final egg of God. Toroca, son of Afsan the Far-Seer, is a geologist searching for the rare metals needed to take his species to the stars. But what he discovered instead is an artifact, immeasurably ancient, that may reveal at last the true origin of a world of dinosaurs!"
