They carefully select the dinosaur they will single out to kill. The book starts off with Raptor Red hunting an Ultrasaurus with her mate. This book follows the life of Raptor Red and all the troubles a raptor would face in its life from good times to bad. Once you start reading this book and you see how intelligent raptors once were you really can’t decipher Raptor Red’s thinking to a modern day human hunter. The author puts great detail in how Raptor Red stalks her prey and kills her victims. One of the key elements to the book to make it more realistic is how the author describes in detail all the other animals that Raptor Red hunts and runs into in the book. These settings are all very vital to the book because it creates the prehistoric atmosphere and brutal planet these giants once inhabited. Setting is a very important because the author must reconstruct the crustaceous period setting and all the vegetation, lust forests, muddy salt flats, sandy beaches, and dry temperate valleys. In some settings she is in thick rich mossy forests looking for plump Iguanodons to eat, to other desert like lands where the sun is so hot she must sleep through the midday and hunt late afternoon when the heat is bearable. The setting changes all throughout the book as Raptor Red migrates from one place to another.
