[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8520191, member: 508"] I'm now reading [i]Thunder of Time[/i] by James F. David, another of my library book sale purchases (hardcover for a buck). The bad news is that it's the second book in a series (and I haven't read the first one, [i]Footprints of Thunder[/i]), but it seems pretty self-contained and the author did a bit of explanation about what life is like in this world so I think I should be okay going in cold. And I like the premise: due to atomic testing in the 1950s-1960s, we've accidentally created a "time quilt," where large chunks of land got thrown into other time periods. For example, Portland Oregon is no longer there and in its place is a chunk of Cretaceous land along with all of the dinosaurs that were on that patch of land when it was jumped forward into our present. This book looks to take place about 10 years after the first one, so there is now apparently an occupation called "dinosaur ranger" - people who track down the dangerous dinosaurs that have been let loose into our world. Anyway, so far so good. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
