Synopsis

"It's like a cross between Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones." ―George R. R. Martin

A world made by the Eight Creators on which to play out their games of passion and power, Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often brutal place. Men and women live on Paradise as do dogs, cats, ferrets, goats, and horses. But dinosaurs predominate: wildlife, monsters, beasts of burden–and of war. Colossal plant-eaters like Brachiosaurus; terrifying meat-eaters like Allosaurus, and the most feared of all, Tyrannosaurus rex. Giant lizards swim warm seas. Birds (some with teeth) share the sky with flying reptiles that range in size from bat-sized insectivores to majestic and deadly Dragons.

Thus we are plunged into Victor Milán's splendidly weird world of The Dinosaur Lords, a place that for all purposes mirrors 14th century Europe with its dynastic rivalries, religious wars, and byzantine politics...except the weapons of choice are dinosaurs. Where vast armies of dinosaur-mounted knights engage in battle. During the course of one of these epic battles, the enigmatic mercenary Dinosaur Lord Karyl Bogomirsky is defeated through betrayal and left for dead. He wakes, naked, wounded, partially amnesiac–and hunted. And embarks upon a journey that will shake his world.

About this title

From the Author:

Almost 12 years to the day before the release date for The Dinosaur Lords, I set out to write the most entertaining novel my passion and then nearly three decades of experience as a professional writer would enable me to.

I believe I succeeded. You judge.

I can safely say, if you love the cover - as I do, of course - you'll most likely enjoy the book as well.

Welcome to Paradise, El Mundo de los Dinosaurios.

From the Back Cover:

"Politics and panache, style and sex - and more terrible lizards than you can shake a saber at. It's a rich and sprawling read that hooks you at the first page and keeps you guessing, gasping, and cheering all the way to the last." - Cherie Priest

"A good read with attractive characters, enough action even for me - and dinosaurs!" - David Drake

"The Dinosaur Lords has lords, ladies, castles, swords, eldritch Gods, not-quite-zombies, a not-quite-earth, pirates, jungles, and ... dinosaurs! It also has a complete set of varied characters who engage with their heroism and commonplace faults, and a driving plot that fascinates as we learn more about this world that isn't but should have been. And there are dinosaurs. Knights riding dinosaurs. Prepare to be entertained!" - S. M. Stirling
