Sixty-five million years ago, aliens transplanted Earth’s dinosaurs to another world. Now, intelligent saurians — the Quintaglios — have emerged. Afsan, the Quintaglio counterpart of Galileo, must convince his people of the truth about their place in the universe before astronomical forces rip the dinosaurs’ new home apart.

The Toronto Star: “Without question, Far-Seer will be remembered as one of the year’s outstanding SF books.”

S. M. Stirling: “A brilliant parable of the nature of scientific investigation, and its relation to art and faith.”

Quill & Quire: Canada’s Magazine of Book News and Reviews (starred review “indicating a book of exceptional merit”): “Riveting; compelling; thrilling — a real treat. The science in Far-Seer is impeccable, the storyline is refreshingly original, and the world Sawyer’s constructed is audacious.”

Robert J. Sawyer has won the Hugo, Nebula, John W. Campbell Memorial, Seiun, and Aurora Awards, all for best science fiction novel of the year. Sawyer’s 25 novels include the #1 Locus bestsellers The Oppenheimer Alternative, Quantum Night, Triggers, and Calculating God, plus FlashForward, basis for the ABC TV series of the same name. The first person ever to be inducted into The Order of Canada — his government’s highest honor — for work in the science-fiction field and Guest of Honor at the 2023 World Science Fiction Convention (the Worldcon), Rob is also past president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

Críticas

Sawyer ( Golden Fleece ) postulates a world (not the earth) in which dinosaurs, called Quintaglios, have evolved to humanlike levels of civilization--cities, formal government and religion. While on a sea pilgrimage to a heavenly body known as the Face of God, Afsan, a prodigy and apprentice to the court astrologer, makes some astounding discoveries with a "far-seer" (i.e., telescope). He realizes that the stars and planets and moons are at varying distances from his world; that the world is round; that the planets revolve around the sun; that their planet is also a moon that will crash into the planet it revolves around and that they must build flying machines to save themselves. Unfortunately, the planet they revolve around is the Face of God, and Afsan's discoveries go against the Quintaglios' religion, though some see him as a messiahlike prophet. Sawyer does a fine job presenting the physiological features of Quintaglios but is less convincing in making one young stargazer play the combined roles in Quintaglio society of Pythagoras, Magellan, Copernicus, Galileo, da Vinci and Jesus of Nazareth.

Not as thought provoking as some of his other titles. But an entertaining read, just bought the next one in the series looking forward to what happens next.

I was a bit suspicious about another dino adventure, but the book became quite an obsession, by the end I could hardly put it down. Nice idea well written and has a certain childlike simplicity in it. The main point here again is not that it is dinos or people the point is the plot and the meaning which is well expressed. If you can take a few pages slow motion then it is worth while reading.

Fantastic. I really enjoyed this book and find impatience as I write this... I can't wait to get to the second book in this series.
I felt this perfectly captured some of the religious fervour we've seen far too often and for far too long in our own world. If you like talking dinosaurs, warriors, hunting, mystics and real science... Stop ready my words and get some of Sawyers well crafted words of wisdom in your face!

A great read and a fitting start to the series

Revisado en Australia 🇦🇺 el 11 de diciembre de 2018

To create worlds and sentient beings that bear no resemblance to humans is no easy task and did not sit comfortably with me as I started this read. The author though is well versed in capturing the attention of his reading audience and I was no exception. The world of the Quintaglio is a great place to start a journey and I cannot wait to continue it with the release of book two of the series.
