Publisher's Summary:
For 80 million years, the Tourists have taken Snapshots of Earth, creating living replicas of continents. Life in the Snapshots quickly diverges from the real world, creating a universe where humans and animals from Earth's history fly between Snapshots, exploring, fighting, and sometimes meeting themselves.
A fly-by-night petting zoo lands in Madagascar-24M, the Snapshot of Madagascar the Tourists made 24 million years ago, and promptly finds itself slapped in quarantine. After all, exotic animals from off-Snapshot are a risk, for people, local wildlife, and the environment.
Scott Hardy's title may be Assistant Veterinary Engineer, but his actual job is shoveling crap out of cages and protecting the "talent" - the nubile youths hired to run the petting zoo.
That doesn't include protecting the zoo's star performer, Athena Anders, Hardy's redheaded, volatile, dish-hurling, on-again-off-again girlfriend. Not because Athena isn't talented, but because she does just fine taking care of herself. The one thing Athena really loves are the zoo's stars, a pair of talking dinosaurs.
Then the dinosaurs go missing. And it's mating season.
The only thing worse than the havoc a pair of breeding dinosaurs can create on an unprotected, unsuspecting world? The wrath of Athena when she finds out who's responsible.

Another great read from Dale Cozort
This novella is great. Fast paced and an unpredictable plot kept me reading non-stop until I finished. Dale has added to his Snapshot universe with this well written story. If you have already readSnapshot: Power, Sex & Revenge, this is a glimpse into another interesting twist that could be found in one of the many Snapshot copies of our good earth.
A travelling Petting Zoo has a problem when a pair of dog sized dinosaurs escape, or did someone release them? Allowing this pair to freely roam could have a devastating effect on the future of the Zoo and even worse, on the local environment.
I strongly suggest that you read "Snapshot: Power, Sex & Revenge" first. That novel will bring you into the Snapshot universe so it will be easier to understand the background for "Wrath of Athena".
Thanks Dale for great read.
A quick and entertaining read
This little novella is set in Dale Cozortâs Snapshot universe, wherein an alien race has created living replicas of Earth throughout Time. Earth explorers can transit to these mini-world through Vents, which opens up new business opportunities for all sorts of entrepreneurs, including, in this case, an exotic petting zoo.
Wrath of Athena is a clever tale about what happens when two small dinosaurs from the zoo, a male and a female, escape into the Madagascar Snapshot, which is 24 million years ago.
The mad scramble to reclaim the dinos drives a nice little mystery, informed by a host of quirky characters.
Well worth a buck.
just a story he feels good about. So while I usually refer to authors ...
Before we get to the story, let me tell you a little about the author, Dale Cozort. He is part of a loose confederation of writers I have dubbed the âKansas Bunchâ, of which I am a member, though none of the others have adopted that name. Dale is unusual in our group, because he comes, gets advice, ignores a lot of it, and publishes his damn books. There are other published writers in the Kansas Bunch, some even famous or becoming so.
