I recently finished reading "Fossil River", a thriller set in the not-to-distant future. An oil starved USA finds massive hidden oil reserves in a pristine Alaska wilderness. There's only one big problem, the area is fiercely guarded by intelligent, ferocious, flying dinosaurs. Jock Miller's research on dinosaurs really set the mood for an educated science fiction read. Miller's gripping narrative combines knowledge about oil exploration, environmental issues, military deployments, weaponry, chain of command as well as more gentle sensibilities about family emotions and second chances for love. The characters are engrossing. The action sequences kept me up much later than I had planned. This is a first rate fiction in the tradition of Michael Crichton and Ken Follett. I eagerly await Jock Miller's next saga.
