Cretaceous Dawn

A rip-snorting good yarn. . . . Cretaceous Dawn's strength is its ability to transport the reader back in time to truly experience the Cretaceous.-Dinosaur News Rendered with a clarity and vividness that gives the novel its richness, Cretaceous Dawn is plain fun, and educational at that. Short of time travel, this is as close as you'll ever get to the grim, predatory world of the Cretaceous.-Falmouth Enterprise From the Inland Sea to the infant Rocky Mountains, we see the entirety of a long-gone ecosystem. The authors' scientific knowledge gives the story, and the giant creatures it is centered around, a realism that is immensely entertaining.-Prehistoric Times The era is] described so vividly the reader forgets that no human overlapped with a dinosaur in the sands of time.-The Cape Cod Chronicle A long-extinct beetle appears in a physics lab. Four-and-a-half people and a dog are hurled sixty-five million years through time, to the Age of the Dinosaurs. Paleontologist Julian Whitney and his companions have one chance for rescue: a thousand-mile journey through the dinosaur-infested wilderness. Sixty-five million years in the future, police chief Sharon Earles must solve the mystery of exactly half a body remaining where five people had just been. Physicists try to determine what went wrong. But can they fix the vault in time to retrieve the missing people-and do they want to? Lisa M.
