Synopsis
This lavishly produced volume begins with an unabridged republication of Gurney's influential 1999 story about the adventures of Gideon Altaire. Gideon escapes from his post as a drone pilot, befriends a small band of animal characters, and becomes the first human to fly on the back of a giant pterosaur known as a skybax. Together they challenge a bold attempt by the rogue leaders of Poseidos to overturn the tenuous balance between humans and dinosaurs.
The second half of the book includes a bonus of over 45 new images, including never-before-published storyboards, concept sketches, and production paintings, plus new characters, stories, and backstory notes from James Gurney's creative archives. The supplement begins with a cinematic treatment about a character named Blake Terrapin, who leads the resistance on the ground while Gideon takes to the air.
Together, the elements of this richly imagined volume combine to conjure a complete world, and will serve as an exciting companion volume to Gurney's other Dinotopia books.

About the Author
James Gurney began his career as a background painter for animated films and a cover artist for science fiction and fantasy paperback books. A lifelong interest in archaeology and lost civilizations led to over a dozen assignments for The National Geographic Society, including reconstructions of Etruscan, Moche, and Kushite cultures. In addition to the Dinotopia books, which Gurney both wrote and illustrated, he is also known for his bestselling art instruction books Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter and Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist, based on his blog GurneyJourney.blogspot.com.
