Foreigner

In Far-Seer and Fossil Hunter, we met the Quintaglios, a race of intelligent dinosaurs (evolved descendants of dinosaurs rescued in prehistory from Earth), and learned of the threat to their very existence. Now they must quickly advance from a culture equivalent to our Renaissance to the point where they can leave their planet. While the Quintaglios rush to develop space travel, the discovery of a second species of intelligent dinosaurs rocks their most fundamental beliefs. Meanwhile, blind Afsan — the Quintaglio Galileo — undergoes the newfangled treatment of psychoanalysis, throwing everything he thought he knew about his violent people into a startling new light.
Booklist: “Deftly combines well-reasoned hard-science speculation with psychology, imaginative alien anthropology, and even linguistics to produce a fascinating and memorable adventure that’s not just for dinosaur lovers.”
NorthWords: The Journal of Canadian Content in Speculative Literature: “Like a fine chef, Sawyer takes all the necessary ingredients needed for effective world building and delivers a gourmet’s delight on a silver platter. It’s a true feast to indulge yourself in Sawyer’s world. As the mysteries unfold, you will be kept turning pages well into the night and perhaps into the next day.”
The Toronto Star: “Fresh; exhilarating. A rousing conclusion to a dynamic and inspiring trilogy. Highly recommended.”
