Dinotopia: The World Beneath
audio drama on cassettes/CD's. 2.5 hrs.
Arthur and Will Denision continue their adventures on the strange and wonderful island of Dinotopia. When Will accidentally discovers an ancient temple ruin guarded by not very friendly tyrannosaurs...he barely escapes their snapping jaws.
Meanwhile, Arthur leads an expedition deep into the mysterious caverns of the World Beneath. They discover a fleet of "strutters," strange mechanical walking machines shaped like dinosaurs and powered by sunstones. But the harmony of the entire island is threatened when a member of his expedition attempts to steal the Treasure of Posiedos, angering not only the tyrannosaurs, but also the even larger and fiercer meat-eating Giganotosaurus!

From Publishers Weekly:
Gurney's bestselling illustrated fantasy, Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time, conjured up a lost world where people and dinosaurs live in peaceful interdependence. This sequel, which should be equally popular, follows the further adventures of naturalist Arthur Denison and his daredevil son, Will, shipwrecked on Dinotopia since 1862. Accompanied by exotic-looking musician Oriana Nascava and treacherous buccaneer Lee Crabb, father and son ride a submarine and stumble upon the World Beneath, a realm of quaint villages, labyrinthine tunnels, archetypal designs, natural stone sculptures, crystalline caves and lush gardens. The dinosaurs, whether above or below land, are sometimes fierce but more often genial presences who serve as means of transport and attend meetings with human elders. A treasure-hunting search for the fabled sunken city of Poseidos turns up connections among the Dinotopians, ancient Egypt and Atlantis. Despite the cardboard characters and trite story line, the more than 160 sparkling, fey paintings, at once fanciful and precise, pull readers into an enchanting adventure that should capture the most skeptical, armor-plated heart. 200,000 first printing; major ad/promo; Literary Guild, Scholastic and Doubleday Book Club selections; author tour.
