DR. STEVEN ANDREWS is an assistant professor of paleontology at Montana State University when he is recruited for a top secret National Security Agency job-a mission so secret that not even the President of the United States is aware of it. He is joined by Colonel Eleanor Johnston and other specialists who form Team T-REX. The team is an elite group tasked with exploring an exotic, previously unknown jungle-accessible via time travel. In the depths of nature, however, they discover something shocking: the source of terrorist plots in the Middle East, China and America. Someone is planning to blow up the Rose Bowl in California, as well as the Three Gorges Dam in China. Steven and Eleanor work closely as they begin to realize that possible alien involvement is suspected. A romance blooms, but as they fight to save thousands, Eleanor is given a new objective: kill Team T-REX-Steven included.
