It’s the dawn of the 19th century, and the recently liberated Republic of Haiti is under attack by its former French overlords, who seek to reconquer the Caribbean nation and force its people back into slavery. In a desperate search for aid, a Haitian voodoo priestess has descended into the island’s bowels, uncovering the fossilized remains of a long-deceased apex predator whom she hopes to resurrect so it can help her people defend their newly won freedom.
It’s a fanciful scenario, I admit, but given that many of the Caribbean islands are thought to have emerged during the Cretaceous Period (including Hispaniola, the island on which stand the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic), it seems conceivable to me that some dinosaurs from the North American mainland could have found their way to those islands, depending on well they could swim. As of this writing, it remains to be seen whether we will ever uncover any of their fossils.
