Professor Denison, the intrepid 19th-century explorer, is back! Some time ago, the professor discovered a lost island where humans and dinosaurs dwell in harmony. Now the professor and Bix, his dinosaur companion, are ready to set off on a perilous journey to the forbidden empire of Chandara. Every step of the way is documented with the striking art for which author/illustrator James Gurney is justly famed: magnificent full-color images of people, animals, and locations, complemented by cutaway views and mechanical diagrams. This lavish hardcover edition is a stand-alone sequel to the first two Dinotopia books and a splendid introduction to the series for readers of all ages.
