Praise for Michaels Swanwick's Field Guide to Mesozoic Megafauna
"Swanwick has written a short-short story for each of the 13
dinosaurs from the Mesozoic era.... The stories are very funny,
often ironic, and well worth the very brief time they take to read.
Highlights include 'The Thief of Time, ' which ironically plays
with the different meanings of the egg-stealing Eoraptor; the
hilarious 'A Matter of Size, ' which gives an unexpected look at
how the Giantosaurus of South America may have regarded its North
American cousins; 'Three Conversations, ' which gives a
sting-in-the-tale ending to a short adventure in kite-flying;
'Pocket Brontosaurs, ' where Swanwick shows that Michael Crichton
and Steven Spielberg may have missed the real commercial appeal of
bringing dinosaurs back to life; and the darkly funny 'Herbivores,
' which you should read for yourself. All are worth seeking
out...."
