Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker, 246 pages
From the MARC: "The life of a dinosaur in the prehistoric swamps of Utah. When her mate is killed on a hunting expedition she teams up with her sister, a mother of three, and the novels follows their struggle to eat and survive in a dangerous world."
This book is written from Raptor Red's perspective, and Bakker did a solid job of making it feel realistic and not too anthropomorphic. Raptor Red's world is harsh and unyielding, feeling all at once familiar and alien. Which of course it is, given how much our planet has changed between epochs. Very interesting book, would recommend if you're looking for something a little different.
