The Last Days of the Dinosaurs

In this vivid narrative, Riley Black transports readers back to the Cretaceous period—66 million years ago—when a sudden asteroid impact changed everything. From the forests of ancient Hell Creek, Montana, to ecosystems around the globe, the story traces the days, years, and millennia after disaster struck, revealing how life unraveled—and then slowly began again.

Picture a world where Triceratops still roams and Tyrannosaurus rex rules the land, unaware their era is about to end in hours. When the asteroid hits, more than half of all species vanish in one of Earth’s most powerful extinction events—yet from this devastation comes the foundation for new life and evolution as we know it.

Blending cutting-edge science with storytelling that reads like epic fiction, this award-winning book brings prehistoric Earth roaring back to life while revealing how destruction ultimately reshaped our world.
