Description

When radical paleontologist Ron Russel gets called to examine some special fossils in New Mexico, he stumbles onto, perhaps, the final evidence proving his theory. After years of academic ridicule, could these footprint fossils finally prove the existence of intelligent dinosaurs? If so, this could change everything we know about human history, its path, and its special place on earth’s evolutionary path.

These findings could change the past, turn the present upside down, and open questions about the future.

As Ron starts to dig deeper, evidence supporting his intelligent dinosaur theory keeps coming to light. This could be his chance to redeem his reputation, but some do not wish to see the truth revealed; not this time either.

A warning from the past brings hope that history won’t repeat itself and we might take the future into our own hands.

Two species and two civilizations are at the center of this story: the ones who once ruled this planet and the ones who rule today. Separated by an immeasurable space-time gap, they can never meet.

Or can they?

I recieved an free Advanced Reader Copy of 'IDT-Intelligent Dinosaur Theory" from NetGalley. As the title indicates, this book is about IDT in a novel format. The author takes an interesting approach with multiple viewpoints of the information, including going back 65 Million years to the viewpoint of a group of Intelligent dinosaurs.

With the increased interest in UAPs and UFOs, the author includes what I believe may be a unique perspective of a multidimensional view of current intelligent dinosaurs using an ability to project themselves through time and space. At the end of the book is an interesting set of supporting facts and other information on IDT as well as UAPs being multidimensional versus extraterresteral.

Overall, the book is excellent with the combination of archeology, paleontology, geology, psychology, and even religion into the support of the theory. The only issue that I had with the book were some of the descriptions of areas seemed extremely long and I was not sure how they added to the overall impact of the book. As a book 'scanner', I did move over several of these by scanning rather than reading word for word. With that said, I would still give this book at 4.5 star rating and have recommended it to several people.

This is a 'what if' novel. When two paleontologists discover dinosaur prints that seem a little too pat to be true, they begin to entertain the possibility that one branch of dinosaurs might have been intelligent.

Great minds do think alike, and a Russian counterpart discovers a skull that also points to a more evolved type of dinosaur. Only his country won't allow him to share this knowledge with the West. The West in turn proves to be equally paranoid about all these exciting new finds.

Fast backwards to a village community defend itself against flying reptiles and so-called sharptooth. Whilst possessing machinies.

Meanwhile, a troubled young man has visions of aliens visiting him in the dead of night. What might the greys have in common with the dinosaurs?

Soon the pieces of the jigsaw come together.

Dinosaur lovers are bound to love this novel, though in many ways the implications of civilisations that existed and destroyed themselves billions of years before us are sober enough. It seems, that once any, animal evolves sapien-like intelligence, wisdom never seems to keep up. There is the ability to create advanced technologies, and alongside it, to create weapons of más destruction - and to use them. Earth meanwhile just resets and restarts, all traces of ancient self-inflicted disasters forgotten.

So much for evolution.

Roland Ritter does a great job in bringing the paleontologist elements to this thriller novel, I really enjoyed the overall feel of the book and how everything flowed with the concept. It had a unique premise and I was hooked from the first page. The characters were everything that I was hoping for and enjoyed how realistic they were. I enjoyed the adventure elements included and glad I got to read this, it was unique for a dinosaur book.
