Review: Best free non-public domain book I've read on my Kindle

This book has an incredibly cool premise (dinosaur aliens come back to earth and they are not fans of mammals).  If you're a fan of cheesy sci-fi movies, it will be difficult for you not to like this book.  The book has enough science to silence those voices in your head that will be asking, "Really?!?"  The description says "Jurassic Park meets Star Wars," but it's more like "Jurassic Park meets Independence Day" (as I think another reviewer observed).I do wish Hopp could have developed his human characters a little more thoroughly.  In the case of several characters (Diedre comes to mind), I was left unsure of the character's age or general physical appearance.  Some characters had much more of a back story than others, which also detracted from the overall experience of reading the book.  The ending did feel rushed - which may indicate that a sequel is in the works.  I won't give away any of the open issues, as they would be like spoilers, but I would have felt better knowing more about what happened on the moon.  The author was clearly very focused on the more dinosaur/scientific aspects of the plot at the expense of the human issues.With all that, the plot is incredibly original and I enjoyed reading about all the different types of dinosaurs, as well as the dinosaur civilization.  This is a really fun book.
