Outpost Epsilon — Herbert Grosshans

When rooky Scout Terrex Stonewall gets his new assignment on a remote outpost on the savage planet Epsilon he never dreamed he would fall in love with an alien girl. The planet is carpeted by a jungle of gigantic mushrooms that release poisonous spores into the hot, humid air, and the mushroom jungle is inhabited by fierce and hungry dinosaurs. Battling giant dinosaurs and venomous bugs aren't the only dangers he must face. The indigenous inhabitants of Epsilon do not welcome the intruders to their world. Stonewall and his companion are captured and taken to the towering city of the Uur where an uncertain future waits for them. There seems to be no escaping their prison from the thousand feet high tower, unless they can grow wings. There is a glimmer of hope when Stonewall discovers things are not as they appear with their captors. If he can unmask the mystery and gain the trust and help of an unexpected ally escape may be possible.
