Baxter, Run: One Dog. Eighty Million Years. No Way Home. (Small Town, Big Bite)

By Arthie Goodwill

He is well past ten, missing a hind leg, and about to have the worst two days of his life.

Baxter's retirement has one rule he's never had to think about: don't go through the hatch. He naps by the coil. He waits for Trudy's hand behind his ear. He has no idea what the humming metal shell in the center of the lab is actually for, and no reason to care.

Then someone drops a tennis ball.

Eighty million years and about four seconds later, Baxter is standing in a fern forest that smells like nothing he's ever hunted or been hunted by, and something with a long jaw and a yellow eye has already decided what he is.

Baxter, Run is two days in the life of one old, three-legged dog: a raptor that doesn't need to hurry, a river with something enormous living in it, a night spent not breathing inside a hollow log, and a way home that's closing faster than he can run.

A quick, complete read built for real life: nine chapters, no filler, no cliffhangers between sittings, easy to finish over a lunch break or a slow afternoon. Large-print-friendly pacing makes it a natural fit for speed readers who tear through a book a day and for readers who prefer bigger text and shorter chapters, without trading away a single bit of tension.
