This was a fun young adult/teen adventure. I realize that the characters are not teens, but I felt that was how they were portrayed and developed. Less testoterone and invective laden back-and-forth may have brought the maturity level of the characters up a bit closer to their actual ages. Of course, I'm an older reader and may just not have appreciated this dialogue as much as a younger reader might.
On to the story, the pace held my attention and the plot came together pretty well, although a bit choppily (is that a word?). There was not enough back story in order to clearly understand how the characters ended up in their precarious position in the first place. More about the original time travel event would have been very helpful-althoug it may come about in the subsequent parts, which I have yet to read.
Overall, I found it a fun read and feel like Mr. Rock probably enjoyed writing it a great deal. I also feel like he has the ability to tie it together in the future parts as the pieces are all there.

This is a really great book. And I really loved the whole idea of dinosaurs living with people. I would recommend this book to anybody I know.

If you liked the Lost, then you will like this book. Time travelers end up on an island with Dinosaurs! This is a good long read that will keep you interested and on edge waiting to see what happens next. This really the first Sci-FY that really perked my interested. There are also two more books in this series that I am jumping into next!

This book combines two story plots I love, end of the world scenarios and dinosaurs. There are a few confusing parts that don't get cleared up, but not many and it adds to general feel of the story in the beginning. Excellent work on the sci-fi futuristic descriptions and character interactions. I liked it and I want more. Please see the full review at: http://ebookit.wordpress.com/

Hey Paul, I assume there are still "regular" dinosaurs around for the same reason that there are still apes around in real life. The Saurians evolved from dinosaurs just as we evolved from apes. I also had the same question about the backstory, and actually emailed the author and he says that by the end of the story, we know everything, and leaving things out was a conscious descision.

A very good read with characters the reader grows to care about.
The story is very well told although I did become concerned that maybe I`d missed a book which you had to read before this one as there is history which is mentioned throughout the first half of the book and I was wondering when (if ever) these threads would start to be explained, they are in a large chunk of "flashback".
The question I would love to ask though is if the premise is that the story takes place on a world where dinosaurs and humans evolved alongside each other to a similar level of intelligence why are there still dinosaurs around of the same species as the Saurians which seem very much like the ones we think of which are wild and vicious, some of which are ridden by humans?
Still it`s an excellent story and I`m looking forward to the next instalment, I can`t believe it`s free!

I became interested in this writer when I came across his excellent short story Death Clock on this website, so when Dinosauria came up, I dove right in, and I have to say, it blew away all my expectations. It was awesome! Great sci-fi time travel adventure that creates a world where dinosaurs not only survived extinction, but evolved into something terrible. Bring on the next part!
