Excellent debut from James F. David

This is James F. David's first novel and what an original winner. Through unexplained events in time and space, prehistoric animals and prehistoric jungles suddenly start appearing in our world of the 20th century. As the giant beasts hunt for humans and roam the ravaged cities, humanity must find a solution to reverse these unexplained events. A great book with great characters, writing, story line and concept.

A top-notch dinosaur thriller!

If you love dinosaurs, whether they're fierce and terrifying or cuddly and sympathetic, this book is for you.If you like violent, bloody, non-stop action, this book is for you.If you like big budget, end-of-the-world disaster epics, this book is for you.If you want a plot that weaves Big Foot, UFOs, the Loch Ness Monster, weird falling objects, the Bermuda Triangle, spontaneous human combustion, and ancient Babylonian prophecies into one tidy paranormal thread, this book is for you.If you're looking for a convincing science fiction story about time travel . . . forget it! The plot is outright ridiculous!Billions of people, all over the earth, are transported -- overnight -- into the Late Cretaceous because of hydrogen bomb tests carried out in the 1950s and 60s?I mean . . . really!But if you're willing to suspend your disbelief, this book is fast-paced and entertaining. The dinosaurs themselves are a real treat. I actually liked this book better than Jurassic Park.

A true disaster story

Those who accuse James F. David of using an idea that has all ready been done, have not read the book. This science-fiction thriller is one hundred percent original and once again gives full credit to the meaning of its genre. In addition, this book is also written in the format of a good disaster movie. Good characters, amazing plot, and a powerful concept, Footprints of Thunder is an ode to David's talents.

A great action/science fiction novel by James F. David

Footprints Of Thunder James F. David: It was a normal day in the lives of American citizens, when suddenly a catastrophe struck. A ferak natural phenomenon dissolves the boundaries between the age of man and the age of the dinaosaurs. Whole cities dissapear, replaced by prehistoric forests. Riots break out, gang fights start, and the police desperately try to keep everyone in line. As ordinary people desperately try to survive in this strange new world, the President and his advisers discover a way to undo this "time displacement." But the results could be more devestating than what has already happened. This book was an incredible science fiction novel. A non-stop, can't-put-it-down story, with well developed characters (some of them dinosaurs.) This book has a fresh new view of the apocalypse. If you like books about dinosaurs, surviving in the wild, or just science fiction, this is a must-read!

a great stinking book!

I read Foot Prints of Thunder in record time,I couldn't put it down! I found myself readingit at the pool! Anyway, I thought it was an interesting and exciting book about dinosaurs, And was I relieved when I read that the dinosaurs were not the result of some gene science that went wrong It was a believable book with likable characters, as well as dinosaurs, following in the footsteps of Raptor Red. I highly recomend Footprints of Thunder!
