Turok, Son of Stone
Turok; Andar; Ski-Yu (their pet wolf)
"Turok and Andar, American Indian youths, have found their way into a strange network of deep canyons in the Carlsbad area, where ancient forms of life still exist . . . They have found no way to get out Z" The earthquake has dammed the river, and water is rising to inundate Turok, Andar, and Ski-Yu, their pet wolf, who make a raft. They escape, and offer to transport the marooned cliff-dwellers to the mesa where the mesa-dwellers live. They fear the dinosaur that lives in the water, but they fear the rising water even more, and so Turok & Co. transport groups of them on the raft all day long. The mesa-dwellers, fearful of invasion, guard the cliff-top, entry to where there is food. Turok teaches them to fish, and they have some success, until the Water-Monster appears (Elasmosaur). Andar slips and falls into the water. Turok fights the dinosaur, and saves Andar. Elasmosaur returns and grabs a girl in its mouth, and Turok kills it. The dam breaks, the water level drops, and Turok & Co. depart. "Before long, the cliff dwellers can WALK home on dry land."

Turok, Son of Stone
Turok; Andar; Ski-Yu (their pet wolf); Wind Racer (their primitive horse)
Writer Gaylord Du Bois expands the Turok family to four, with the addition of Wind Racer, their horse. "Trapped in a deep canyon in the Carlsbad area of New Mexico, Turok and Andar, two Indian youths, have met ancient forms of life which have disappeared from all other parts of the world." They scale the cliff seeking escape from the canyon, only to find more cliffs. Andar snaps a ligament when he twists his ankle, and Turok goes in search of wood for a crutch. They are pre-columbian Indians, ignorant of the horse, which has not yet been introduced to the New World. Turok encounters primitive horses, his first encounter of an equine nature. He breaks the horse, so Andar can have "a four-legged crutch," and names it Wind Racer. Meanwhile, Andar and Ski-Yu fight off a Dimetrodon. They all take refuge in a boxed in area. Turok scales the cliff to the top, and freedom, out of the canyon at last! He reurns for Andar, an earthquake brings the canyon walls crashing, and escape is forever cut off. Ski-Yu and Wind Racer flee the tumbling rocks. Then, "Look, Andar! Wind Racer came back --- back to our camp! He is glad to see us!"
