Written about 1984 and seems to be out of print.
I had to apply for an inter-library loan from out of town to get a copy.
It is Science Fiction, based on the premise that the asteroid hit 65 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs did not happen.
It is a scenario that I have wondered about myself quite often.
Would reptiles continued to have evolve into sentient beings (perhaps WE would be cold-blooded today)? Would we be 65 million years more advanced than we are now? Would mammals have evolved too? Given that the asteroid strike was against the odds, does that mean, if life did evolve on other planets, chances are better that such life would be reptile than mammal? etc., etc. A fascinating concept.
In any case, this book is science fiction. An entertaining story that does not answer all the questions.

I love the way she writes. Many books like this are dry reading stuffed with facts and lacking any feeling. She has such a flare for the written word.

you are not at all late I started reading it 2-3 months back and now I am reading the last one. Even I have watched the movies twice but while reading the Book I don't seem to remember anything. And i totally agree with the imaginative part. Enjoy your reading.Dixi wrote: ↑29 May 2009, 08:49 Hello, You may think that I may be too late here but to tell you I am on my second day reading "Harry Potter Book 1" , I watched all it's movies. But I think right now the book is more interesting, well, all of us would like to see audio visual effects on that movie, but I think my brain is more imaginative while reading this book , any suggestions what books more interesting to read? Thanks anyway.
