McGhee has written a science mystery about one of the major extinction events in the Phanerozoic in a well organized investigation of a mass murder . . . This book is a clear, concise treatment of a complex problem that deserves readership beyond individuals interested in extinctions or the Devonian. -- Jeff Over, State University of New York, Geneseo
