To make matters worse, the space invaders turn loose all the huge beasts of their time, including T rex, triceratops, and a host of other animals, giant and small, that make life interesting for humans to say the least. The two young heroes find themselves caught up in a last-ditch battle to save humanity from destruction.

Reviews for Dinosaur Wars
14 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The description of the dinosaur civilization is pretty on point... compensating for a bit of stereotype in the humans.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A clever idea with so so writing. The earth is invaded by dinosaurs that have been (sort of) hibernating on the moon since the big asteroid hit millions of years ago. The dinosaurs’ moon base is discovered and then accidently reactivated. The dinos use a laser weapon from the moon to knock out the earth’s communication facilities and military hardware and the invasion begins. The writing, however, is not up to the idea. The segment with the scientists working at the JPL to reactivate the satellite is fine but most of the writing lacks polish and the author relies too much on stereotyped characters: the absent minded professor, the plucky cowgirl heroine, the dim-witted and/or kill crazy military officers, etc.
