IDT - Intelligent dinosaur theory

illustrated paleontology/prehistoric/extinction/science fiction adventure mystery novel with a bit of space opera

When radical paleontologist Ron Russel gets called to examine some special fossils in New Mexico, he stumbles onto, perhaps, the final evidence proving his theory. After years of academic ridicule, could these footprint fossils finally prove the existence of intelligent dinosaurs? If so, this could change everything we know about human history, its path, and its special place on earth’s evolutionary path.
These findings could change the past, turn the present upside down, and open questions about the future.
As Ron starts to dig deeper, evidence supporting his intelligent dinosaur theory keeps coming to light. This could be his chance to redeem his reputation, but some do not wish to see the truth revealed; not this time either.
A warning from the past brings hope that history won’t repeat itself and we might take the future into our own hands.
Two species and two civilizations are at the center of this story: the ones who once ruled this planet and the ones who rule today. Separated by an immeasurable space-time gap, they can never meet.
Or can they?
