This the sequel to Fossil Hunter. In this book, we we follow Afsen's son, Toroca. He is on a scientific expedition to the icy north, and discovers the animals there are built on a similar structure to animals in his home, but they look different. This brings up the notion of evolution.

On the home front, a serial killer is going around killing Afsen's Children. Murder is unusual in this society, and its up to Afsen to find out why,

ITs a good story, not as good as the original. ( )
