Synopsis

3142 AD. Humanity is on the verge of extinction after genetically engineered dinosaurs reclaimed the planet during the Dino Wars. Adam Caine lives in the secluded city of Bastion with other human survivors and peace-loving dinosaurs. When an old biological weapon that threatens all dinosaur life is activated, Adam knows it is down to him to stop it. With the help of his sister Chloe and best friend Dag, a tech-savvy Iguanadon, Adam must find four Dilotron crystals before time runs out. However, one might just be at the centre of a city full of carnivorous raptors... This is the first book in a four book series which follows the adventures of Adam and the rest of his motley crew. With genetically modified, sentient dinosaurs and a world that needs saving, this is definitely an action-packed series for those that love a bit of adventure.

About this title

Review:

The first in a new series of an exciting new sci-fi adventure featuring kids and their super-advanced dinosaur friends solving a mystery and saving the Earth. If your kids love Astrosaurs, they are going to love this too. Brilliant work from Aaron Blecha with dynamic illustrations that capture the story and bring the reader right into the action. Quite literally, a blast! --Dawn Finch, Children's writer, reviewer and librarian

This is the first in a planned series of four Dino Wars books. A quick and action-packed read, this book follows the story of Adam, who lives with his friends in a futuristic city where humanity is on the brink of extinction after the devastating Dino Wars. This early chapter book is a good choice for dinosaur fans who enjoy action and adventure. --Books for Topics

Let me just say that the excitement and the fun levels are satisfyingly high! --The Letterpress Project

About the Author:

From an early age Dan Metcalf knew exactly what he was going to be when he grew up tall. This was achieved before he even got to secondary school and so another career was decided on. The life of a chocolate teapot salesman is however fairly temperamental and so he decided to move to a job which was comparatively reliable a writer. He has written for radio, screen and magazines but is best known as the author of The Lottie Lipton Adventures (although he is best known around where he lives as That Weirdy Beardy Guy ). He is a full-time writer and his biggest ambition is write a major children s adventure series and create a superhero comic.
