I did something I very rarely do recently. I picked up a couple of best sellers in the grocery store while waiting to have a prescription filled. They both looked like some sort of science fiction thriller. One of them was Tyrannosaur Canyon by Douglas Preston. Now, right from the start - this book was pure mind candy, beach reading. But I thought it was fun. It begins with the astronauts of Apollo 17 finding a very unique and important rock sample, then skips forward in time to become both a murder mystery and a treaure hunt set in the canyons and mountains of New Mexico and also a scientific thriller set in the Museum of Natural History in New York. Throw in some rogue government agents and a rather nasty hired killer, and things kept moving pretty quickly, and stayed interesting. This author apparetly often collaborates with another writer named Lincoln Child, and their website is at www.prestonchild.com ****************************************************** Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell <i></i> |
