I discovered Michael Swanwick when the Science Fiction Book Club featured one of his books, Bones of the Earth in one of their e-mail newsletters. The book sounded so interesting, I decided to order it.

World-renowned paleontologist Richard Leyster's universe changed forever the day a stranger named Griffin walked into his office with a remarkable job offer . . . and an ice cooler containing the head of a freshly killed Stegosaurus. For Leyster and a select group of scientific colleagues an impossible fantasy has come true: the ability to study dinosaurs up close, in their own era and milieu.

And when they concern the largest, most savage creatures that ever walked the Earth, the consequences may be too horrifying to imagine . . . (book description)
