Megazoic: An Era's End

Donald Matthew

Bowker

Dinosaurs. Gun-wielding dinosaurs. Immortal dinosaurs. Dinosaur-like robots. The Late Cretaceous has become engulfed in endless battle. For eighty million years, Zulgaran has plagued the dinosaurs of the world, planting his vile claw into every crevasse of civilization. Many centuries ago, he rebirthed species from his own era, and subtly integrated them into society for an unknown purpose. Dubbed the Elderkind, these dinosaurs make up twelve percent of the world populace, and have only just learned of their true origins. Now, Zulgaran’s robotic assassins called Enforcers have been targeting Elderkind, prompting the government to relocate these dinosaurs into mass internment; an unethical but ultimately necessary decision.As a Sinraptor, Kortan is an Elderkind species, so when he learns that Zulgaran plans to unleash an energy wave to kill all Elderkind, he wants to take action. He escapes internment and is declared a fugitive, forcing the Laurasia Corps to hunt him and his allies down. Yet, Zulgaran’s threat looms, so Kortan presses on. Despite the legal and personal stakes, this is a fight he cannot afford to lose.

Megazoic: The Hunted Ones

In the first installment of Megazoic, the Laurasian Empire has been at war with the Tyranneon Kingdom for fifteen years. While the conflict has remained relatively bloodless, fatigue has started to set in for the Laurasia Corps, the empire's military force. When a Sinraptor named Kortan prods a bit too carelessly into studying Tyranneon tech, the Tyranneons launch a surprise attack on one of Laurasia's cities, and take two Laurasians captive. One of these Laurasians is Belar, an Edmontosaurus and Kortan's best friend, thus Kortan feels responsible for his capture. Enlisting the help of the Psi Squad, one of the worst-ranked squads in the Laurasia Corps but also the only one available, he ventures deep into Tyranneon territory to save his friend, while the rest of the Corps has their own plans. However, it becomes apparent the Tyranneons have hid their true power for all these years. Their prince, a bloodthirsty Suchomimus, plans to hold back no longer. And their technology, the main source of their power, has a dark secret. Kortan may have only wanted to enact a rescue mission, but he's about to throw himself in the middle of a war.

Could a single semantic formalism be created which would allow for the representation of meaning at all levels from basic semantic units and relations to sentence-level and text-level meaning, while remaining practical and user-friendly? This book showcases a detailed, precise and clear semantic formalism such that representations of meaning can be created and understood by a wide range of users, including logicians, linguists, creative writers, and literary specialists without detailed technical knowledge.In this monograph, the authors propose the formalism, showing its basic structure, applying it to the analysis of the semantics of a wide variety of linguistic phenomena in both English and French, and using it to generate the semantics of a variety of texts ranging from single sentences, to textual excepts, to a full story. By drawing on fundamental principles of program design, the proposed formalism is both easy to read and modify yet sufficiently powerful to allow for the representation of complex semantic phenomena.

This volume contains a detailed, precise and clear semantic formalism designed to allow non-programmers such as linguists and literary specialists to represent elements of meaning which they must deal with in their research and teaching. At the same time, by its basis in a functional programming paradigm, it retains sufficient formal precision to support computational implementation.
 The formalism is designed to represent meaning as found at a variety of levels, including basic semantic units and relations, word meaning, sentence-level phenomena, and text-level meaning. By drawing on fundamental principles of program design, the proposed formalism is both easy to read and modify yet sufficiently powerful to allow for the representation of complex semantic phenomena. In this monograph, the authors introduce the formalism and show its basic structure, apply it to the analysis of the semantics of a variety of linguistic phenomena in both English and French, and use it to represent the semantics of a variety of texts ranging from single sentences, to textual excepts, to a full story.
