- "'The Flock' is the story of conflicts between developers and protectors, between warriors and thinkers, between mankind and a creature not unlike the theropod predators they so resemble in body and spirit."
- ""A remote Florida swamp has been targeted for theme-park development, and the swamp's inhabitants are none too happy. It doesn't help that the residents are a colony of intelligent, prehistoric, dinosaur-like birds. This flock of beasts has escaped the mass extinction that killed off the dinosaurs, relying on stealth, cunning, and killer instinct. The creatures have been living in secret, just outside our developed world. As the developers push to have the recently-discovered animals exterminated, a billionaire rogue environmentalist step in to protect these rare, predatory creatures. A naive young Fish and Wildlife officer finds himself caught in between these two incredibly powerful forces, and may find out the hard way that man is the most dangerous predator of them all.""
- "Salutations USA is an ideal town built by Berg Brothers, a studio that has produced family films for generations. Constructed on a decommissioned bombing range, it is intended to represent what America once was, with room to expand. But the 450,000 acres of wilderness beyond Salutations is protected from development by its former military status. Other forces oppose Berg for control of those acres -- which, unknown to most, are home to the last population of a creature believed extince: a predatory ground bird of saurian form. -- From the cover."
