From Publishers Weekly

At the start of this improbable thriller from bestseller Preston (The Codex), innocent bystander Tom Broadbent is riding his horse through a New Mexico canyon when he comes upon prospector Stem Weathers, who's just been shot. Before Weather dies, he gives Tom a notebook filled with mysterious numbers, asking him to pass it on to his daughter. Taking this assignment to heart, Tom puts himself and his wife at ever greater, more pointless risk as he tries to deliver the notebook. Soon the Broadbents find themselves the target of the prospector's assassin—a jailbird hired by an evil British paleontologist seeking the perfectly preserved remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex—as well as a rogue government operative who's trying, with a commandeered army squad, to kill almost everyone in the book. Lively yet ridiculous, the narrative loses all plausibility as it becomes clear that the characters do what they do solely in order to keep the plot churning to its conclusion. The recent real-life discovery of a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil containing soft tissue makes this particularly timely.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Entertaining and a Quick Read, Janv. 25 2007
This review is from: Tyrannosaur Canyon (Mass Market Paperback)
Douglas Preston is a very good writer, however it seems that he does better when teamed with Lincoln Child. That being said, this book was very entertaining, and took no time to read.

The plot was interesting and kept me reading to see what happened. Some parts could have been condensed, specifically the desert chase at the end. I also thought some parts could have been expanded on. I really wanted to know more about LS480.

The character development was pretty good. There was a fair amount of suspense in the book that keeps you reading.

The book seemed to just end with me wanting more. Overall, it was better then average, and I would recommend the book if someone has a spare few days.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting ideas, good thriller., Nov. 11 2005
This review is from: Tyrannosaur Canyon (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a quick and easy read, engaging but not engrossing, interesting concepts but not mind-boggling. I didn’t like the really short chapters, finding that somewhat annoying. Generally, I enjoyed the story and its characters and the sub-plot added interest and a desire to see how everything was connected. I was kept interested and wanting to find out how it comes out. The chase scene through the desert could be abbreviated (it really kept going and going and going-like the batteries), but I suppose helps to build suspense. Not a great book, but certainly something for a weekend read. Also recommended: Bruce Huntly, Fusion (this is new author and I highly recommend this one!); Dan Brown: The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point; John Grisham: The Broker; Michael Crichton: State of Fear.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Entertaining but highly improbable! (3.5 stars), Aoû 23 2005
Par Jason Webster "An Argonaut" (CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tyrannosaur Canyon (Hardcover)
First let me say that I enjoy Preston/Childs books, easy thriller/adventure reads usually within an archeological/scientific context. This being said, Preston is not Crichton! I don't say this to demean the author, in my opinion Crichton is the best at writing a story around science and making it believable. However, Childs is still talented, and usually writes an entertaining story (especially when he is teamed with Childs).

Tyrannosaurus Canyon is an extremely improbable story, even for this genre. The plot revolves around Tom Broadbent who is given the Journal of a dying prospector, who was just shot, who he runs into while out riding a horse through a New Mexico Canyon. The old man asks Tom to deliver the Journal to his daughter. The notebook is filled with mysterious numbers, but you realize pretty quickly that they identify the location of a perfectly fossilized Tyrannosaurus Rex. Tom takes on this errand, even though he knows this will make him a target for who ever killed the Prospector-not too smart in my opinion. Tom and his wife are now in big time danger as the killers want the Journal. On top of this, a mysterious Black Ops agent also wants the notebook and has commandeered a special forces unit to help him. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but the agent is trying to hide a secrete discovered by the crew of Apollo 17 crew 30 years ago.

Don't expect a lot of character development (which is typical in this genre), but do expect a taught story line, with plenty of action. Just don't expect to be dealing with reality, the holes in the story are big enough to drive a truck through! My biggest problem is why does Tom put himself and his wife in so much danger? Its never really explained. That being said, fans of Childs will surely be happy with this effort, and those looking for a decent-turn-off-your-brain beach read. I was entertained even though the believability factor was very low.
