Somewhere in the uncharted waters of the World Ocean lies a huge island - Dinotopia. Reefs, winds and sea currents reliably protect it from the invasion of foreigners and do not allow anyone to leave the island. Dinosaurs still live on this protected land. They created their civilization together with people - the descendants of sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of a lost island. Dinotopia does not know violence; they have long forgotten what weapons are. But one day, a hurricane of unprecedented force brings a pirate brig to its shores... Thus begins the first book about Dinotopia. The fantastic world described by Alan Dean Foster can also be seen on the screen - the cult colorful television series "Dinotopia" was filmed in Australia, which also takes place on the shores of the lost island of intelligent dinosaurs.
