The authors do a good job to keep their writing and voice congruous throughout the various books. This is a sequel to James Gurney's "Dinotopia", about a near inaccessible island somewhere in the South Pacific, where dinosaurs never went extinct, and for the most part have evolved to an equivalent intelligence with man - and, in some ways, a superior civilization. The era is the late 1800's, when a pirate crew has accidentally blundered onto the island, and seeing the fabulous wealth of gold and jewels, and the dinosaurs which would be a major attraction anywhere in the world, determine to make their fortune, in the process kidnapping young Will Denison and a few saurian friends of his. The book actually reminds me much of something Edgar Rice Burroughs would have written, although there is not a Tarzan-like character to be found. Regardless, the adventure is the equal of most anything Burroughs wrote. no reviews | add a review
