I'm really starting to enjoy Robert Sawyer's books. This is the second book of his I have read. I started with Flash Forward (which is also fantastic).

This book starts in the future. Scientists have discovered a way to time travel, but can only go into the distant past because the energy levels needed to travel into the past decrease exponentially the further back in time you go. So scientists are sent back to study dinosaurs and find out how they became extinct. What they find out about the past is shocking. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this story. I read almost the entire book on a flight back to Florida from California. Very fast paced, entertaining read. I would recommend it to any fan of sci-fi and time travel stories.
