This book oscillates between an interesting vision of a world, and extremely juvenile dialogue. I am very close to giving it an even lower grade due to the cheesy, annoying and prepubescent exchanges between characters (who by the way are almost all young with movie star looks), but since I find that I still want to read the next book in the series I will leave it at three stars. The story is that we find 65 million old, dead, creatures in the solar system that might be aliens intermixed with dinosaurs. Have fun with that. Ok, it's fluff - space opera. But it is _excellent_ space opera. I'd tried before and quit, but this time I was utterly hooked - every time I had a minute I'd go back to reading. There are major holes in the science I understand (paleontology), and I suspect equally major holes in the ones I don't (physics, engineering, astronomy...) - but while the holes bother me they don't slow down the story noticeably. Coincidence plays a _major_ part - only two years between the finding of the fossil and the greater discovery? And three of those present at the first are also present at the latter? Yeah, right. But keeping space opera in mind - this is a fun read, with _great_ characters - each has a quirk, and each is much deeper than just that quirk. And a good bit of romance, with only a bit of "I am not worthy" as obstacles. I _like_ these people, and am delighted I had the next books as well. Worth reading, and I suspect one I'll reread frequently. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Paradigms Shift, Worlds Collide! A daring and resourceful paleontologist uncovers something at the infamous K-T boundary marking the end of dinosaurs in the fossil record â?? something big, dangerous, and absolutely, categorically impossible. It's a find that will catapult her to the Martian moon Phobos, then down to the crater-pocked desert of the Red Planet itself. For this mild-mannered fossil hunter may just have become Earth's first practicing xenobiologist! A new hard SF thriller from best-selling alternate history master Eric Flint and ace game designer Ryk E. Spoor.

I would've given this one 5 stars except for the plot fumble about three quarters of the way through, where someone felt the need for more action. Once you get past the awkward crash scenes and other unnecessary struggles to arrive at the Mars site, the rest is back on track for a good finish ( )
