Robert J. Sawyer is een van Canada's meest prominente en succesvolle sciencefictionauteurs, geprezen om zijn vermogen om het intiem menselijke te verbinden met het groots kosmische. Zijn beknopte proza, vaak vergeleken met dat van Isaac Asimov, verkent diepgaande filosofische vragen door middel van inventieve vertellingen. Sawyer gebruikt het genre om zich te verdiepen in de ethische, sociale en juridische implicaties van geavanceerde technologie en alternatieve realiteiten. Hij omarmt zelf het label 'filosofische fictie', waarbij hij zich richt op diepe ideeën in plaats van de toekomst te voorspellen.

Fossil Hunter is hard SF in the tradition of Larry Niven about a world inhabited by the Quintaglios, a dinosaurian species that has evolved a human level of intelligence and culture. Toroca, a Quintaglio geologist, is under attack for his controversial new theory of evolution. But the origins of his people turn out to be more complex than even he imagined, for he soon discovers the wreckage of an ancient starship -- a relic of the aliens who transplanted Earth's dinosaurs to this solar system. Now, Toroca must convince Emperor Dybo that evolution is true; otherwise, the territorial violence the Quintaglios inherited from their tyrannosaur ancestors will destroy the last survivors of Earth's prehistoric past.
