Raptor Red's tale begins with tragedy. She and her mate are stalking their prey; a giant astrodon feeding in a nearby meadow. They approach silently and attack with deadly force. But at the moment of triumph, something goes terribly wrong and Raptor Red's mate is killed. It is the beginning of a yearlong odyssey of survival, a thrilling story told by leading paleontologist Robert T. Bakker. Now, in Raptor Red, he dramatizes his revolutionary theories in a one-of-a-kind tale.
Painting a rich and colorful picture of her lush, exotic prehistoric world, the novel is convincingly told from within Raptor Red's mind, revealing the powerful instincts and Darwinian forces that shape her remarkable consciousness. Her story is filled with a unique cast of characters that includes a white pterodactyl, a giant prehistoric crocodile, a small furry aegialodon, hulking astrodons, and an incredible range of other exotic creatures.

A Utahraptor who identifies herself as Red, grows up into the world of the dinosaurs, striving to survive, find a mate and start a family of her own. Needless to say there are other troubles that hinder her dreams and progress, sometimes plunging her towards peril and death. Raptor Red captures the essence of what being a dinosaur in the Cretaceous period is like and the primal survival instincts. Food, water, family and life.
