â€œCrichton-worthyâ€â€”Publishers Weekly

â€œA perfectly delicious scientific premise.â€--Booklist on Tyrannosaur Canyon

â€œA hair-frying, nerve-fraying, heart-stopping, pulse-pounding thriller of the first magnitude. Preston has always been terrific, but Tyrannosaur Canyon reaches whole new dimensions of thrillerdom.â€â€”John Farris, award-winning and bestselling author of Phantom Nights
