CompsognathusMember12 XPAug-08-2018 6:42 AMOk - lets see what you all reckon - I gotta go for ;
1. The Land that Time Forgot - Edgar Rice Burroughs
Great old school adventure yarn with T-Rex, dinosaur eggs and ice age men, and german u-boats!
2. The Banshee Engine - Harry J Jones
A cracking fast paced short story about when the dinosaurs return to modern day and wipe out the entire human race. No messing here, straight to the action.
3. Bones of the Earth by Michael Swanwick
Great stuff. Modern tech vs dinosaurs. No more needs be said.
4. Jurassic Park - we all know and love
5. Dinosaur Planet - Anne McCaffrey.
Great stuff!
Let me know your thoughts! Kept it to 5 to cause some arguments :)
AllosaurusMember4115 XPAug-08-2018 2:29 PMEasy. Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton for me.

AllosaurusMember4297 XPAug-08-2018 6:08 PM^Same.
Although I can’t say I’ve read many dinosaur books.

AllosaurusMember4204 XPAug-08-2018 6:46 PMHey I was going to say Jurassic Park but then my PC took an arrow to the knee
TriceratopsMember198 XPAug-09-2018 6:17 PMThe top 2 are Crichton's Jurassic Park and The Lost World, full stop.
Dragon Teeth may or may not be considered a "sci-fi" novel, but according to Crichton's letters, he always considered it to be the prequel to his "other dinosaur book".
