The voyage of discovery that Arthur Denison and his son, Will, began in Dinotopia continues in The World Beneath. Professor Denison and Will have been living on Dinotopia for several years, learning the marvels of this lost island continent where dinosaurs and humans have coexisted peacefully for centuries, cut off from the rest of the world.
Now Professor Denison decides to explore the natural mysteries of Dinotopia. He turns his attention to the ancient caves that point to a long-lost Dinotopian civilization that seems to have used a technology beyond any that the Professor has ever before encountered. His journey takes him deeper and deeper into the heart of Dinotopia, into the World Beneath. Little does he know that his quest to uncover Dinotopia’s deepest mystery will soon become a desperate race to save the very existence of the island.

Review of 'Dinotopia' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This is one of my all-time favorite books. It awed and inspired me as a kid, and the artwork and sheer scope of Gurney's vision still knock me down. The combination of machine and dinosaur (not to mention the remnants of a whole lost civilization below the surface of the world) make this a breathtaking read. I met Mr. Gurney last May and he signed my copy of The World Beneath with a dino.
