About this product
Product Information
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?

Reviews
"A delightful time-travel romp. Lean writing, strong characters, and a firm basis in hard science make End of an Era a superlative adventure." -- The Toronto Star "Veteran archaeologist Brandon Thackery fulfills a dinosaur lover's dream when he and colleague/best friend Miles "Klicks" Jordan take history's first time-traveling jaunt back to the late Mesozoic. Hoping to solve the great mystery of dinosaur extinction, Brandon and Klicks use the newly discovered 'Huang Effect' to backtrack into Earth's sixty-five-million-year past. There they discover not only that the Earth's gravity is half its twenty-first century value, but that the beings responsible for this are blue-slime creatures from Mars that manipulate the dinosaurs like pawns." -- Booklist "Audacious, informed, and compelling--displays the author's breadth of imagination and humanity. It's not too much to say that this is one of the most accomplished SF novels of the last ten years." --Roger MacBride Allen "If Robert J. Sawyer were a corporation, I would buy stock in him. He's on my (extremely short) Buy-On-Sight list, and belongs on yours. End of an Era is one of those rare SF novels that should bring equal pleasure to a 'hard-science' fan, a 'rousing good yarn' reader, or a 'lit'ry' type." --Spider Robinson " End of an Era is a haunting collage of complex storylines, exciting ideas, and good old-fashioned action-adventure SF." --Kevin J. Anderson "A wonderful read. Sawyer tells his story with that same sense of fun and adventure that SF had in its Golden Age. The difference is he writes from a modern sensibility and his speculations are based on solid research rather than making things up as he needs them, so really, what we're getting here is the best of both worlds." -- The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction "Works extremely well--three-dimensional characters, an extensive bag of tricks, and the man can set a scene. When the prehistorical pollen flies, the reader will sneeze." -- The New York Review of Science Fiction, "A delightful time-travel romp. Lean writing, strong characters, and a firm basis in hard science make End of an Era a superlative adventure." --The Toronto Star "Veteran archaeologist Brandon Thackery fulfills a dinosaur lover's dream when he and colleague/best friend Miles "Klicks" Jordan take history's first time-traveling jaunt back to the late Mesozoic.
