That included a window at Bantam Books.

When the manuscript was at the bottom, Brown looked up, stretched his tired body, and sighed heartily.

It's wonderful.

Brown has been an editor for fifteen years, and although he has not yet become editor-in-chief, he is one of the bantams who can be a secretary. But it's the first time I've read such a wonderful science fiction novel in a long time!

Unlike StarCraft in Galactic Empire, and unlike Ascifmo's I, Robots or The Gods Themselves, the author tells only one story that takes place in the "modern day".

There's no emphasis on ultra-high technology, no aliens or robots or spaceships to catch the eye, but there are dinosaurs, and there's an island with dinosaurs as a highlight.

Park, and the author coincidentally arranged the story in the 80s today, and the long is only five years ahead, except for the big development of biotechnology as a simple background setting, everything else is exactly the same as the real world.

In this way, when Brown read the book, the sense of substitution really made him feel refreshed!

"It's the middle of the night? Oh my God, I watched it for twelve hours in one sitting! ”

When he finally got the energy, when he saw that the clock on the wall was already pointing to two o'clock in the morning, a sense of extreme euphoria instantly covered the exhaustion, and Brown suddenly became energetic.

It's been a long time since the number of submissions to bantams has dropped, and I've been able to read this for a while. The whole book is about 300,000 words, and I actually read it in one go in 12 hours!

Then, recalling the plot of the book, Brown has 120,000 admiration for the author.

First of all, the foreshadowing of the plot is necessary, but the author's method of foreshadowing the official appearance of dinosaurs, and even their cruelty, is really a little terrifying.

The essence of the plot told at the beginning of the story is the story of a carnivorous dragon on that dinosaur island who escaped to land and had no intention of hurting people. Of course, the author proceeds from the perspective of human beings, from the perspective of several biologists, and does not reveal the truth, but only creates a terrifying atmosphere of suspense.

The so-called workers who were injured at the construction site, whose skin was torn apart, their shoulders and thighs were peeled off entirely, and they were poisoned and comatose after leaving the word "raptor"; The baby in the cradle was attacked by a carnivorous dinosaur the size of a small lizard, and the thin skin and flesh on its face were torn off and eaten.

The opening example and the description in the preface make the atmosphere of horror and suspense always surround the reader, and stimulate Brown to read it all the time.

Furthermore, the author obviously has a deep understanding of the computer industry that is developing in the big picture today, and the manuscript contains a large number of descriptions of computer technology, and even takes the trouble to make screenshots of some operation interfaces. Under the authoritarian decision of the park's investor, Hammond, the whole park has adopted a full computer monitoring system across the ages, and even the number of dinosaurs has relied on sensors to detect.

As soon as he saw this, Brown immediately realized that these computers must be unreliable.

And the follow-up plot just confirmed his point of view.

The total number of dinosaurs is X, and the number detected by the detector is Y, as long as Y is not less than X, and no dinosaurs are lost, everything is fine.

It was a surveillance tactic for park staff, and it wasn't until the park got out of control and the dinosaurs fled wildly, endangering the safety of the children, that they discovered a fatal loophole.

What if Y is greater than X?

The original eight-headed velociraptor had unknowingly multiplied to as many as thirty-seven......

And about these data, the author presented them in the form of a tabular analog display. The Arabic numeral 8 on the left and the number 37 on the right, looking at the obvious difference, when he read it, Brown suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

It's so clever!

After fifteen years as an editor, Brown certainly knows the impact of simple Arabic numerals, and when it comes to numbers, in many cases, it's far more efficient to list numbers directly than to put them in writing. Otherwise, why are Arabic numerals widely circulated, and accounting statements are dominated by numbers?

Directly given the table, the comparison of Arabic numerals 8 and 37 is far more exciting than a slow description of how velociraptors reproduced!

"This author is simply a genius, with superb writing, amazing imagination, rich biological knowledge, computer savvy, and from the very beginning he has been discussing environmental knowledge about man and nature, man and living things, and biological evolution. He...... Who is he? ”

With this question in mind, Brown curiously turned to the last page of the manuscript.

"Hmm.................."

When it's early in the morning in New York, it's eleven o'clock in Los Angeles on the West Coast.

"Hmm...... Look, Hannah, they're still out there. ”

In front of the bedroom window, Alice is wearing a white pajama with blue spots, looking out the window with her feet crossed. Just across the road from her house, Officer Sergei's police car was still parked there, more than ten meters away, and she could clearly see the man in the driver's seat.

"It's really hard, it's really hard to do a job as a policeman. Sister, when I brought him water before, I found out that Mr. Sergei was eating hamburgers for dinner. ”

Hannah was dressed in pink spotted pajamas that matched her long, wavy crimson hair, and was sitting on the side of the windowsill with her window closed, pouting her little mouth.

"You say, is there really any serial murderer around here? While the three high school students did go missing, and a full gallon of blood was indeed found, ......"

"But after all, the DNA test results are out."

Alice touched her nose and asked Hannah to bring the water as she had given her idea. At present, Sergei and Officer Paulin are on the morning and evening shifts, after all, it is just a routine simple protection, if only the whole two policemen are tirelessly by their side 24 hours a day, Alice must be ashamed to die.

"That gallon of blood is indeed the three of them, and it is also thanks to the excellent medical examination facilities at Lincoln High School. Tsk, Hannah, what you're seeing now is only a small part, and God knows if there are more than a dozen people who have set up a task force for this in the Los Angeles police summer, think about it......"

Listening to Alice's chatter, Hannah just blinked her big bright eyes and looked at her adoringly.

Sister!

From a very young age, from the time she was sensible, Hannah grew up listening almost to the myths of her sister.

It's not just how smart she is, Hannah knows that she still doesn't understand what stocks are. But that's it, just two years older than herself, Alice was able to convince her parents to buy stocks, and then she made so much money!

Apple, IBM, and other companies, Hannah didn't understand at all, she just knew that not long after Alice convinced her parents to buy their shares, the family became very rich!

Apple, in particular, December 12, 1980 was the date it was listed on the NASDAQ, and Hannah had no idea what it was. What she knows is that because her family bought a huge amount of its initial shares, she can now get hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividends every year!

And year after year!

And that's because of Alice, because of my sister's words to her parents!

For example, at this point, Alice began to make her incomprehensible words again, such as "haunted and thriller suspense are not for Los Angeles", or "Los Angeles should be an action blockbuster", and "this kind of thing should happen in an East Coast town" and other inexplicable feelings.

So, Hannah interrupted her: "By the way, Alice, how is your book written?" I've never seen you write, can you pass the review of the publisher? ”

"Of course, my work has to be the best!"

Alice's tone was exaggerated and high-pitched, she instantly stood up straight, holding up the full size of her C-Cup, as if she was not afraid of her sister's envy, jealousy and hatred, and said loudly with her hands on her hips.

And don't forget the efficiency of FedEx! I guess they should have received the goods by now! Wait and see, Hannah, and wait and see your dear good sister transform into a brilliant legendary writer! Hmph, that girl still dares to question my ability to write a book, look at how she turns around and begs me to write a sequel! ”

“…… Sequel? ”

Hannah blinked with big eyes: "The main story has just sent out the courier, and you have the idea of a sequel!?" ”

Sister deserves to be a sister, it's so powerful!

"Of course, I've already thought of the title of the book, and the cover!"

Faced with Hannah's adoring eyes, how could Alice not make her majestic C-Cup bigger?

"Jurassic Park II: The Lost World! And the cover should be red! Of course, the cover of this part must be green, and then there must be a skeletal dinosaur pattern, surrounded by a border of tropical rainforest, and at the header is a car that has been turned over. When someone from the publishing house comes to my door, this is the priority of all else! ”

"Wow, that's amazing, but why? Alice? ”

"Hmm...... Well...... this."

Alice's eyes rolled, and finally decided that there was nothing wrong with telling the truth.

"Because, of course, if it wasn't that kind of cover, I'd be awkward!"
