The second time travel expedition to the past encounters two other species visiting the same time period.
An 18 member time-traveling geological field team has spent a year in tents studying the Cretaceous (the K-T boundary) just before the Yucatan catastrophe. Before their scheduled return to the 20th Century they stumble upon two other groups: another, unknown set of time-travelers derived of four-fingered dinosaur stock and some three-fingered intelligent, primitive, indigenous, paleo-dinosaurs. Somehow the advent of the first expedition has altered events to create a new reality with a much larger catastrophe which imperils all three groups. The problem is not time loop paradox, but politics. Much of the length of the story involves the combined efforts of the three groups to make sense of the danger to them all and to find a way to survive.
The story cuts back and forth between the three groups (the Threes, Fours, and Fives) up to the point where they discover each other. There is romantic involvement, skinny-dipping sex scene, political intrigue, a jealous, mentally-ill saboteur, a cross-country motorcycle thunderstorm chase, little girl rescue, cannibalism, humor, hunting, motorcycle/tyrannosaur joust scene, a trip to Mars. There are Nazilike, slave holding, cold-blooded bad guys. There is murder and violence, but no prurience or bad taste. A good bit of alien religion in the face of evolution.
