Buy--I thought that was confirmed, but I may be wrong. There are still remnant Dragon populations living on Shardworlds somewhere.

Now Voidus, does that sound like something we would do?

Lightwards smiled down at the people. This was how an Epic ruled: with fear and a firm hand. Lightwards had done his research. This was how Steelheart dominated his city; this was how Möbius kept her little kingdom under control. He could play the benevolent ruler later on; now he was a teacher. He would teach them the meaning of fear. Suddenly there was an explosion of rainbow and glitter standing on the ground near him, hopping onto the rusted merry-go-round with an enormous smile spread across her face. "Perhaps Traveler should make the speech," he hissed, but it was too late. The good Doctor seemed thoroughly enthused at the idea of delivering a speech, and he couldn't imagine a more terrifying past-time than trying to keep Funtimes away from something she was enthused about. "People of the Oregano," Funtimes proclaimed, a finger pointed dramatically at the sky. "The Great Noodly One smiles upon you today, because this is the day it rains pancakes!" She wouldn't. She would. Dry leaves from the autumn trees became warm pancakes and rained down upon the crowd. The two Deinonychus abandoned the severed arm they were entertaining themselves with and began fighting over the new pancakes. Lightwards wanted desperately to pay more attention to his raptors, as he was fairly confident that even in a volitionless state they were more intelligent than the imbecile standing next to him. But he felt compelled to do his best and listen to the whole thing. For this he was rewarded by a zealous make-out session between Funtimes and Traveler, passionately going at it right beside him. He stiffened irritably before muttering "For Calamity's sake" and taking a few steps back off the merry-go-round. Doctor Funtimes continued giving the most idiotic, infuriatingly sappy speech Lightwards had ever heard before Traveler stepped up and began helping. The pair began to pick up random people from the crowd, conscripting them into servant status. And by random, he meant random. Most noticeable among the new servants were a surly-looking redneck bearing a rifle and... someone in a Darth Vader mask who wore a kilt, carried a bagpipe, and rose a unicycle. How the sparks has this man survived so long? As Traveler intimidated the low-life into joining them, Nighthound apparently decided that he'd had enough. “Don´t let her fool you citizens, that madwoman is a cannibal!” he shouted at the top of his lungs. He turned his Carnotaurus aside, and whistled for the two allosaurs to follow him. "I was using those!" Lightwards proclaimed loudly, but the Epic and the dinosaurs were already racing down the streets and out of sight. A few cautious people began to edge their way out of the crowd. Lightwards let out an irritable sigh, glaring at Funtimes. "Did you bring Purple Phoenix down with you?" he demanded of Traveler. The other Epic shook his head. "Perfect," Lightwards growled softly. "The coordination in our group is astounding to say the least." He gingerly nudged Funtimes down from the merry-go-round and took her place on the platform. "You will be free to go momentarily," he informed the increasingly anxious crowd. "First, I wish to introduce you to somebody." From a bloodied coat pocket he pulled out a single, bloody feather he'd plucked from the vulture carcass before he left the museum. Restoring this particular speciment was quickly becoming second nature to him, and so reanimating it with a single feather presented no difficulty at all. The feather quickly grew a body to match it, a now thoroughly bedraggled vulture with a dull expression that rivaled most sticks and stones. "This is Claudius," Lightwards told the crowd. "Do not let his looks deceive you. He is one of my most trusted lieutenants. He will circle my territory every day. If he sees strange activity, I will know about it. If he hears dissenting murmurs on the streets, I will know about it. If he is shot out of the sky, I will know about it. Claudius is one of the many wardens to your existence we will be installing." He let the vulture glide into the sky, circling above them with a determined flight pattern. Lightwards tipped his bowler hat to the crowd and turned. "You are dismissed." With that, he directed a final scowl at Funtimes and Traveler and headed back to his litter, raptors following dutifully behind him.

Steelheart would have been a very different novel if David had joined their cell. They might talk her into letting them wear utilitarian outfits while on missions, saving the fun stuff for formal occasions. I'm on it chief.

I've actually been thinking Alice might start tracking Nathan down. She remembers him very vividly, and her recovering consciousness may have focused itself on the kind man in the front seat. She might try to find her husband and her brother, but by the point her mind makes those connections, she'll likely realize it's a lost cause. Both of them were killed by Headshot during the museum heist, and Lightwards was too distracted by shiny dinosaurs to raise them back up. If he spares a thought for them, it will only be to feed them to Wanda the T-rex. Nathan and Alice, Epic hunters, actually sounds really awesome. Two normal people who had the misfortune to fall in with Epics and endeavored to fight them from the inside out. Oregon's equivalent to the Reckoners. Sparks yeah that would be cool to see.

I think we can all agree Sausage McMuffin Epics are easier to get along with.

I haven't read it yet. Which is why I'm going to kill it.

New energy Epic I see. By the way, if she ends up killing any dinosaurs, just make sure you save a piece of them for Lightwards. He could reanimate them from a bloodied piece of hide if need be.

Ooh, Fatebreaker... you just become an unpopular fellow it seems. I'd run away as fast as I could if I were you.

Hmm... I'm trying to think of good resources for a relative newcomer to the field. Overall, I'd encourage anyone interested in dinosaurs to simply find a good dinosaur encyclopedia and spend some time with it. The best dinosaur encyclopedias cover a wide range of species from different time periods and regions, giving the reader a good feel for the Age of Reptiles as a whole. They can also introduce their readers to new fields of study they might not have been aware of before, thus encouraging them to find more specialized books. If you're looking for specifics, then I'd eagerly suggest Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages by Dr. Thomas R. Holtz. This book covers every group of dinosaurs known in its own chapter, describing both individual species and characteristics of the major divisions. If you're uncertain what the difference between ornithomimids and dromeosaurs is, or if the words "saurischian" and "ornithischian" make your eyes glaze over, this is the book to consult. I've read it cover-to-cover twice, which is really saying something because it is huge. Well worth any time or energy you spend with it, I assure you! Other than Holtz's masterpiece, I would recommend absolutely anything by Dougal Dixon (OK, his speculative biology works may not be what you're looking for, but they're awesome in their own right.) If you have access to the program, Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts are amazing documentaries combining beautifully incorporated scientific fact and breathtaking visual effects. That's all I can think of for now--overall, I'd say that if you're interested in dinosaurs, you could do a lot worse than by simply throwing yourself into whatever source is available to you.

I too have been trying to avoid spoilers (except for reading about the new title sequence, since I don't really care about that sort of thing.) So I've been wondering what different people are hoping for in the new series. There's been a lot of talk about the series becoming darker with the Capaldi era; is this a development that most of us here would welcome? Personally I'm not usually a fan of darker forms of media, preferring the cheery enthusiasm of the modern Doctors, but I'd definitely love to hear other opinions on the matter.
