Fossil Hunter

by Robert J. Sawyer

Toroca, son of Afsan the Far-Seer, pushes his skills as a geologist to the limit on a quest for rare metals. If he succeeds, the raw materials will enable his race of intelligent saurians to travel to the stars. Instead, Toroca discovers an ancient artifact that may at last reveal the true origins of his people . . . and may destroy the very foundation of the saurian faith!
