Jurassic Ark

Kevin Lasky tells the history of the world in a style remininscent of Douglas Adams, You're hooked from the opening paragraph: "Once upon a land, from a time far, far away, comes the story of a great adventure... or at least it would have been a great adventure, if it were not for misadventure. And even with misadventure, it would have been a great story, but like Sadie Hawkins radiation dancing its way from a black hole banquet, this story was as blank as an unformatted hard drive still in its shrink-wrap."
