Selenosaurs The Lost Herds of the Moon

What if the Moon has been keeping a secret for sixty-five million years?When mining engineer Petra Vasquez hits an anomaly two thousand metres below the lunar surface, she expects a geological quirk. What her sensors find instead will change everything humanity thought it knew about the age of dinosaurs — and the age of intelligence itself.Called to the Moon on an emergency flight, palaeontologist Dr. Mara Chen descends into a sealed lava tube network stretching thousands of kilometres beneath the crater floor. Inside: a warm, pressurised world lit by bioluminescent organisms, sustaining a complete ecosystem that has run in perfect isolation for sixty-five million years. And living within it — seven species of dinosaur, evolved beyond all recognition, thriving in the dark at the centre of the Earth's nearest neighbour.But the animals are only half the discovery. Deep in the network, a circular chamber holds a plinth inscribed by the beings who built this place — a civilisation that watched the Cretaceous end, transported survivors to the Moon, and left a message for whoever came next.Selenosaurs: The Lost Herds of the Moon is a gripping science fiction novella about deep time, extraordinary survival, and the question every generation must eventually answer: when you find something irreplaceable, do you protect it — or exploit it?Perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Michael Crichton, and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
