For 80 million years, the Tourists took Snapshots of Earth, creating living replicas of continents. Life in the Snapshots quickly diverges from real life, creating a world where humans and pets from Earth's background travel between Snapshots, exploring, fighting with each other, and sometimes getting together with themselves. A fly-by-night petting zoo lands in Madagascar-24M, the Snapshot of Madagascar the Tourists made 24 million years back, and promptly sees itself slapped in quarantine. In the end, exotic pets from off-Snapshot are a risk, for folks, local wildlife, and the surroundings. Scott Hardy's title may be Assistant Vet Engineer, but his real job is shoveling crap out of cages and safeguarding the "skill" - the nubile youths chosen to perform the petting zoo. It doesn't include safeguarding the zoo's star performer, Athena Anders, Hardy's redheaded, volatile, dish-hurling, on-again-off-again partner. Not because Athena isn't talented, but because she does just fine taking care of herself. The thing Athena really enjoys will be the zoo's stars, a set of talking dinosaurs. Then your dinosaurs go absent. And it's mating season. The only thing worse than the havoc a set of mating dinosaurs can create on an unprotected, unsuspecting world? The wrath of Athena when she finds out who's responsible.
