Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Anonymous Rex (novel)}} {{Infobox book ~~[[Category:~~ \| title = Anonymous Rex]]▼ \| image = \| caption = \| author = Eric Garcia \| central theme = \| elevator pitch = \| genre = Fantastic noir \| franchise = Anonymous Rex \| preceded by = Casual Rex \| followed by = Hot and Sweaty Rex \| publication date = 2000 \| source page exists = \| wiki URL = \| wiki name = }} {{quote\|''I've never been hardboiled. But I'm trying. I'm trying real hard.''\|Vincent Rubio}} Line 11 ⟶ 26: Yes, there are dinosaurs living among us, disguised as humans. As silly as the premise is, Garcia treats it about as seriously as he can, and comes up with a pretty interesting back-story and culture for his dinosaurs. And the books are funny as hell. Other books in the series include ''Casual Rex'' and ''Hot And Sweaty Rex''. Not to be confused with ''[[Theodore Rex]]'', which is a load of crap. Loosely adapted into [[Anonymous Rex (film)\|a Sci-Fi Channel original movie]], which... is [[Adaptation Decay\|about as good as you'd expect]]. Part of a sort of string of "fantastic noir" novels by different authors that all seemed to arrive at around the same time, including the books, ''The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse'' and ''Who Censored Roger Rabbit?''▼ ▲Part of a sort of string of "fantastic noir" novels by different authors that all seemed to arrive at around the same time, including the books, ''[[The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse]]'' and ''[[Who Censored Roger Rabbit?]]'' {{tropelist}} Line 23 ⟶ 37: Firstly the author seems to be suggesting {{spoiler\|that the reason it had to be dinosaur "seed" with a human egg was that the shell was present from the start, when actually it's added by the mother's body later. And on a molecular level an unfertilized dinosaur egg would theoretically be very similar to an unfertilized human egg.}} secondly {{spoiler\|you never, '''''ever''''' incubate an egg underwater. Eggshell is what's known as a semi-permeable barrier. While a fetus is growing in an egg, air slowly seeps through the shell and forms a pocket for the chick to break into when it's ready to hatch. Incubate underwater and the chick drowns.}} ** And finally, {{spoiler\|even if incubating underwater ''weren't'' a form of infanticide, there is simply no good reason to use a 100,000 gallon tank to incubate ''one egg''. The heating bill alone be like a thousand dollars}} * [[Big Eater]]: Sarah Archer {{spoiler\|/ Jaycee Holden}}. Vincent is very impressed with her ability to pack away food. * [[Catch Phrase]]: Vincent hints at a storied past--don't ask, don't ask.
