Book description

Sixty-five million years ago, aliens transplanted Earth's dinosaurs to another world. Now, intelligent saurians -- the Quintaglios -- have emerged. Afsan, the Quintaglio counterpart of Galileo, must convince his people of the truth about their place in the universe before astronomical forces rip the dinosaurs' new home apart.

Why read it?

1 author picked Far Seer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

How would their path of discovery be influenced by their biological differences and the fact that their world orbits a gas giant?

From Laurence's list on “what if” in science fiction.
