"Spectacular.....astonishing...in the tradition of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and J.R.R. Tolkien, a triumph of the imagination" Los Angeles Daily News. In the late 1880's a father and son are marooned in a strange land in which dinosaurs and people co-exist. The pair travel the land with the company of new friends, both human and dino, and visit fantastic cities, strange creatures, and enjoy the customs of this lost civilization. Great for dino/sci fi/fantasy fans of all ages. The writing is well done, the story is very deep and well thought out, gentle themes of ecology, education, peaceful co existence, conservation are exposed without being preachy/pushy. The artwork is stunning.
