The book revolves around a terrifying invasion of gigantic prehistoric creatures — dinosaurs and their lizard-riding masters — who emerge from a hidden underground world to wreak havoc on a small town in America. The narrative explores themes of survival against overwhelming odds and the intersection of humanity with its ancient past. The story follows Dr. Walter Morton, a renowned paleontologist, who goes missing while exploring a desolate swamp. As his assistant, Edward Rowan, seeks to find him, the town of Brinton is suddenly attacked by giant dinosaurs that are ridden by reptilian creatures from the depths of the earth. Rowan witnesses the chaos as the dinosaurs rampage through the town, causing destruction. Eventually, he discovers that Morton has been captured by these invaders and learns about their plan to conquer the surface world. Ultimately, Morton and Rowan devise a desperate plan to thwart the invaders by unleashing the molten fires of the earth upon them, leading to an explosive climax that could save humanity from extinction. The novel captures the thrill of adventure and horror while exploring the consequences of ancient beings re-emerging into a modern world unprepared for their ferocity.
