Dinosaur Isle
ABOUT THE BOOK
After 65 million years dinosaurs once again walk the Earth on three islands near Guam. D.N.A. (Dinosaur National Association) used their funding, modern paleontological research along with modern DNA research, have 'grown' dinosaurs. Dozens of dinosaurs of all sizes roam the largest of islands.
The islands are not open to the public but are for research only. But something has gone awry. 'Raptor' dinosaurs have been found off these islands and it's up to Agent Jack McConnel (from a newly formed UN Agency) and his team to find out why. First, he needs to understand how D.N.A. has 'grown' dinosaurs, their behavior and what dinosaurs are on the islands. Then use that knowledge to help find the dinosaurs off the island.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am a self-taught paleontologist and paleo-artist. I've been writing articles and presenting talks and papers since 1997. I have had dozens of articles published in scientific publications and have named three dinosaurs.
I enjoy writing, both scientifically as well as Science Fiction. I have a love for dinosaurs and want to express this through this book and help bring back dinosaurs, as scientifically accurate as I can.

I enjoyed this take on a book similar, but totally different from, Jurassic Park. It was fresh with scientifically accurate information and updated theories. It meshed nicely most of the time. The ending hungers for a sequel book for sure and I look forward to that day to see how the story will continue.

Tracy Lee Ford has an interesting twist on the creation of modern day dinosaurs in his book entitled “Dinosaur Isle”. The plot has a “Jurassic Park” feel to it, but instead of creating dinosaurs for entertainment purposes as attractions at an amusement park, Dinosaur Isle doctors are “growing” dinosaurs to study and observe. A group of three islands off the coast of Guam are being used by DNA, Inc. as a nursery and observation post to observe how the dinosaurs interact with each other and their surroundings.You can read this entire review at San Diego Book Review
