A Gun for Dinosaur (XMIN)

A big-game hunter takes an unlikely pair on a time safari to bag some prehistoric trophies. One hunter is a blustering brute, the other a thoughtful lightweight. The guide discovers that bravery can come in all shapes and sizes.

This story is an obvious and uninspired rip-off of Ray Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder (Collier's, June 1952). A Gun for Dinosaur was first published in the March 1956 issue of Galaxy magazine. It is rife with plot holes and time paradoxes. I can only recommend it to fans of dinosaurs and time-travel stories.
