An out-of-work college graduate, Jack Wilson, and his friends are transplanted-along with millions of other young adults-onto an alien dinosaur preserve, and must rapidly organize, unite survivors, and figure out how to tame prehistoric beasts to outwit rivals and survive the deadly trials of an interstellar zoo.

Author of The Roaring Falls Chronicles
Carson O'Brien writes at the intersection of high-stakes survival and society building. Born and raised among the towering peaks of the Colorado Rockies, Carson developed a lifelong fascination with rugged landscapes and the resilience required to navigate them. This deep-rooted connection to the wilderness informs the visceral, high-tension environments found in his debut series.
After completing school in Crested Butte, Colorado, and Fort Lewis College in Durango, Carson now calls Bozeman, Montana, home.
When he isn't mapping out the deadly ecosystems of interstellar preserves, he can be found exploring the trails of the Gallatin Valley or online as an experienced D&D Dungeon Master and storyteller-experiences that directly inspire the survival tactics, skills, and grit displayed by his characters.His debut novel, Survival, is the first installment of The Roaring Falls Chronicles, a three-part epic exploring the limits of human ingenuity when faced with prehistoric terrors and the remnants of a vanished alien empire.
