This felt a bit like eating at a pulp fiction buffet. You've got superheroes, time travel, psychic dinosaurs, two-fisted scientists, spunky mechanics, psychic dinosaurs, intelligent apes, ghost detectives, subterranean cavemen, and more. Thirteen-year-old me would have absolutely lost his shit at the prospect of all this, and to be honest thirty-three-year-old me was pretty damned excited about the idea as well.

At the same time, all of those things in the same book sounds like it could almost be a bit overwhelming, even if that book's the first part of a trilogy. Luckily, Evil Hat put that book in the hands of Chuck Wendig, and Chuck was able to weave them all together into an enjoyable yarn filled with both drama and comedy. And psychic dinosaurs. We can't forget those.
