Actually, the one near the beginning (might even be the first in the book?) where they go back in time via an earthquake and gleefully watch the giants who might be about to attack them drown, before vibrating THE WHOLE PLANET back into the future might be my favourite in this volume. The only thing letting it down is lack of giant scorpions.
