"Over 65 million years ago in what is now Cheyenne River Sioux territory in South Dakota, a battle-scarred Tyrannosaurus rex matriarch - perhaps mortally wounded in a ferocious fight - fell into the riverbed and died. In 1990 her skeleton was found, virtually complete, in what many call the most spectacular dinosaur fossil discovery to date.".
"And than another battle began - a "survival of the fittest" free-for-all involving commercial dinosaur hunters, gun-toting law officers, an ambitious federal prosecutor, a Native American tribe, jealous academics, an enterprising auction house, major museums, and corporate giants, all making their claim for the dinosaur named Sue (after the paleontologist who first spotted her bones).
At stake: not just Sue's wealth of scientific riches, but her grant-drawing power and vast commercial potential as well.".
"Sue is poised to be not only a scientific phenomenon but a main attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom and (fitting enough for the world's greatest meat eater) a marketing superstar for McDonald's. Meanwhile, the man whose team actually unearthed Sue - professional dinosaur hunter Peter Larson - remains hauntingly, touchingly obsessed with the 41-foot-long, dead-for-millions-of-years T. rex."--BOOK JACKET.
