ACTION, ADVENTURE . . . AND ROMANCE!
What they're saying about DINOSAUR WARS:
“A romp!” —Kay Kenyon, Author of Tropic of Creation
“The action is fast-paced, the science is up-to-date and the story line can’t be beat.” —Steve Brusatte, Dino Land Book Reviews
“The moon will never look the same.” —Bob Gue
Hopp’s Dinosaur Wars novels are at the same time new-fangled science fiction thrillers and old-fashioned adventure sagas like Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost World or George Lucas’s Star Wars.
Through painstaking research, Hopp has brought us a truckload of accurate and up-to-date dinosaurs. T-rex makes an appearance, of course, but have you ever met a pachyrhinosaurus? How about megaraptors covered in feathers, not scales? Jurassic Park’s lizard-like velociraptors are already obsolete. Hopp’s dinosaurs are in tune with the latest breakthroughs in science and his military scenes are gripping because of their realism. Tank commanders and helicopter pilots ring true, from the professionalism of their actions to the heroism of their lives—and deaths. When Hopp turns his attention to romance, he writes with all the heart of Tarzan and Jane’s tenderest moments, and all the hopefulness and excitement of Star Wars’ great duo, Han and Leia.

Where were they? He frantically tore through the contents of the glove box; the map pocket …
He stopped to look up at the tyrannosaurus towering over Kit. Unable to outrun it, she had seconds to live if he couldn’t find the bullets—and maybe even bullets wouldn’t be enough to save her.
He reached under the driver’s seat and felt nothing but floor.
Kit had only a fleeting second to wonder what Chase was doing before she sensed the creature directly over her. Acting on instinct, she leapt sideways to the ground—and the heavy jaws clamped shut just inches above her back…
