The general consensus seems to be that S*entina*l is in the Land of the Red Queen, and Doktaruth informed Cassy that the Eden project is going to be located in the same remote spot as Sentinal. Plus there's all kinds of exotic animals wandering around in Dragon's dreams. But some people seem to be thinking that the Eden Project is in the Pellmare Quadran where Elspeth just got captured. Did I miss something?
Anyway, Doktaruth mentioned some bloke called Erlinder and his unnamed sister in connection to the Eden Project. Anyone else think that Erlinder might be Luthen's surname?
Edit: DARK ROAD SPOILER ALERT
Just re-read The Dark Road. I'd forgotten that we already knew from this story that Cassy's husbands name was Luthen and that the first Red Queen's name was Aquilla. So I think it's extra suspicious that this Erlinder fella's sister goes unnamed in TS. On the other hand, Luthen is described as a scantily clad warrior in TS and TDR, which doesn't really sound like your stereotypical scientist, but maybe he was more of a go-getting eco-warrior type. Certainly Erlinder and his sister must have been quite keen environmentalists to have dedicated their lives to a conservation project like the Eden project, and in TDR it's stated that beastspeakers are revered in the LotRQ.

Forever could you add a spoiler warning for the Dark Road please? I've read the Sending but not the Dark Road.
For some reason I thought Erlinder was Hannah but I don't know why. I hadn't given that particular paragraph much thought but I will now! :D

I think the Eden Project might be the Red Queen's garden from Dragon's dream memories (or is that the Eden Project 'morphed' into when all the animals woke up), and that kind of goes along with what you are suggesting, Forever. It's definitely an interesting theory! And it explains why Hannah and Cassie were in the Red Land before travelling to the Land - they woke up from cryo there. I don't think it's a stretch to guess that Pellmar has cryo (Miryum went there, and probably Elspeth was in cryo sleep in the end of TS), but I also don't think that that automatically means the Eden Project is at Pellmar... is it a stretch to think that there was/is more than one cryo facility, scattered across the world?

I don't think Cassy woke up in the Red Land because it says in TS that she travelled there after the greatwhite with the beforetime misfits, then travelled to the Land. Perhaps Hannah was there and thats where Cassy met up with Hannah Jr.
Deb you're right, I read that part again and they all travelled when they woke up.
I agree that cassie and hannah were not in cyro in Pallmar quadrants. as to them being in the red queens land I am unsure as we are told that they (well at least Cassie) travelled there (but I can't remember whp told us that at the moment.
What we find in Jacob's diary is that Hannah was far away at the time of the great white and could not get back to him, then he talks of traveling to Pellmar to hopefully communicate with her and that it was mearly a settlement in the beforetime. So I don't thing she's there.
Perhaps Hannah was in stasis in TLOTRQ (perhaps having had to visit her family, last minute, we know she doesn't "see" personal stuff very well. If you believe the TLOTRQ is queensland/Tipodia theory) and Cassie and the beforetime misfits where in cryo in Pellmar/somewhere else and had to travel to meet up with Hannah???
In the begining of TS Elspeth has a vision of Cassie waking up from cryo but not Hannah. I just always assumed they would all be together but maybe they were not???
