Boundary

A Baen Book/Baen Publishing Enterprises

Written by Eric Flint & Ryk E. Spoor
Copyright 2006

Boundary is a fun punny book where paleontologists unearth an alien on the boundary of the time of the disappearance of the dinosaurs. After a probe discovers a base and the remains of another alien on a Martian moon - an international team of scientists is assembled and a manned expedition is sent to Mars to search for more alien remains. Were the aliens responsible for killing the dinosaurs?

The book has strong women characters, so much so that they are mostly the most interesting characters in the book, even more interesting than the enthusiastic geek A.J. It is interesting to note the academic jealousies of paleontology as well as the political issues concerning the discovery of aliens.
