Synopsis "Starcreature"
WHAT IF THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRAIL LIFE WAS FOUND NOT IN THE STARS BUT IN ROCKS MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD? To Dr. Anne Summers, it was the greatest paleontological discovery of all time. Two fossils from the early Jurassic 180 million years ago. One of them, a Dilophosaurus had its jaws clamped on the arm of a humanoid skeletal having three-fingered claws and barracuda teeth. She named it the starcreature.Her former lover, Carlo Spezzini, was the owner of a highly successful pet cloning business. His discovery of a viable DNA genome in a tooth of the starcreature fossil convinced Anne in the interest of science to have the alien embryo implanted in her womb. A girl was born, human in appearance except for pointed ears and three-digit hands and feet having retractable claws. It was only after the deaths of two people that it was found the child possessed poisonous fangs with the most lethal venom known. Editorial Reviews Kurt Heinrich Hyatt has another hit with this tale of prehistoric aliens and tribal lore. Rich and setting in characters, Starcreature will keep you turning pages far into the night.-Terry Wright, Editor of TWB Press Just about the best science fiction novel I've read. I hope there's a sequel.-Isidro Sanchez, Phoenix Building Engineer I'm not really a science fiction fan but Kurt's novel was hard to put down. A real visual experience.-Rosanna Feyerabend, Editor, Alianza Magazine After seeing the video of his latest novel, Patient Zero, on You tube, I had to read it. Fantastic!-Michael Bell, retiredExcerpt"Everyone take a look at this child!" Dr. Fann shouted. "Take a good look at this monster!" Cody shrank back and tried to pull her hand free. "Dr. Fann, let go of my hand. You're hurting me." "This is the clone of the starcreature who killed my daughter with her poisoned fangs!" Dr. Fann yelled. "Let go of me!" Cody looked up to see Dr. Fann's genial façade had changed. His crazed eyes bulged. "Now you will all see why Dr. Summers kept this beast hidden away-." "Let go of me!" Cody sank her fangs into Dr. Fann's arm. He screamed with agony and fell to his knees, clutching the deep punctures. A sullen rush of sound went through the hall, like wind through a forest. A woman screamed, followed by gasps of horror. Cody faced the crowd, aroused by fear. Her yellow eyes became slits, her claws sprang from her fingers and she bared her fangs in defiance.
