The only one of great Canuck hard-SF writer Sawyer's earlier novels I had still been wanting to read.

Book description

WHERE DID ALL THE DINOSAURS GO?

Paleontologist Brandon Thackeray wants to find out. With a newly developed, still-experimental timeship, he will be able to do what no human being has ever done: Stand face-to-face with a living, breathing, dinosaur.
And what he and his partner are about to discover is more fantastic than any scientist's theory: the truth about what happened at the twilight of the Cretaceous Era - and what really felled the dragons of Earth's distant past. ....

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312876939, Paperback)

Archaeologist Brandon Thackery and his rival Miles 'Klicks' Jordan fulfill a dinosaur lover's dream with history's first time-travel jaunt to the late Mesozoic. Hoping to solve the extinction mystery, they find Earth's gravity is only half its 21st century value and dinosaurs that behave very strangely. Could the slimey blue creatures from Mars have something to do with both?
