About the book: 1999 / "Shards of Eden" takes the heroes of the series "The Word of the Dragon" - who have become dragons - to another world. The Ship of Darkness crashes while trying to escape from the Zone and falls on an amazing planet: almost exactly replicating the Earth in the time of dinosaurs, it is absent from the star maps of dragons and people. The fugitives injured during landing soon find out that they have crashed onto an “alternative” Earth, created as a result of a grandiose experiment by astrophysicists. Convinced that the entire world of dragons has perished, Gloom and his team are trying to make contact with the inhabitants of this world. The book is as good as the previous one.
