science fiction
Turok; Andar; Ski-Yu (their pet wolf)
Turok and Andar are lost in a network of deep canyons in the Carlsbad area, where ancient forms of life still exist. An earthquake has dammed the river, and water is rising to inundate them. They make a raft, escape, and transport marooned cliff-dwellers to the mesa. The mesa-dwellers guard the cliff-top entry to where there is food. Turok teaches them to fish until the Water-Monster appears (Elasmosaur). Andar falls into the water, Turok fights the dinosaur, and saves Andar and a girl. The dam breaks, the water level drops, and Turok & Co. depart. Soon, the cliff dwellers can WALK home.

Subject Matter
science fiction
Turok; Andar; Ski-Yu (their pet wolf); Wind Racer (their primitive horse)
Turok and Andar scale a cliff to escape from the canyon, but find more cliffs. Andar snaps a ligament when he twists his ankle, and Turok searches for wood for a crutch. Turok encounters primitive horses, his first encounter with equines. He breaks a horse, so Andar can have "a four-legged crutch," naming it Wind Racer. Andar and Ski-Yu fight off a Dimetrodon. All take refuge in a boxed in area. Turok scales the cliff to the top, out of the canyon at last! He returns for Andar, an earthquake brings the canyon walls crashing. Escape is cut off. Ski-Yu and Wind Racer flee the rocks but return.
