A World of Dinosaurs: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Mintari Book 1) Kindle Edition
Dinosaurs. Majestic giants. They’ve captured our imagination for generations. On planet Mintari, they live again.
Mintari is far from Earth. Wild. Pristine. A world where triceratops herd across grasslands, pterosaurs soar over golden mountains, and T-rexes prowl the misty forests.
But these magnificent beasts might soon disappear. And only one man can save them.
They call him Jurassic Joe. A semi-mythical figure. A ranger who lives in the wilderness of Mintari. Defender of dinosaurs. Bane of poachers. Folk hero. But is he real?
He better be. Because big game hunters are landing on Mintari. A lot of them. It will take a hero to stop them. And they must be stopped. Or the dinosaurs of Mintari will be lost forever.
Discover a world of savage beauty, terrifying danger, and ancient beasts brought back to life. Welcome to Mintari.

About the same time some other scientists discovered the star Nyx and its 5 habitable planets. The first planet found was named Cloventia and was chosen for people to live on. A second planet, named Dagon, was cleared for farming. Its fields fed the population of Cloventia. 3 times the size of Cloventia with a higher gravity, this was the perfect farming planet.
The scientists gave the last three planets to animals. One was given to recreated animals man had driven to extinction. Lions, tigers and bears happily ate each other. A second planet was given to Ice Age animals. Wooly mammoths, sabre tooth tigers roamed a frozen world. The last planet, worst of the lot, was given to dinosaurs. Mintari is all about the different types of dinosaurs, plants and insects of that era that were recreated there.
The story is about the characters that live and work with the dinosaurs on Mintari. First is Joe Triplehorn, a ranger whose job is the dinosaurs. Protecting, guarding and watching over the massive creatures is his job and his calling. He's nicknamed Jurassic Joe in the media and his ambition is to protect the dinosaurs from poachers and hunters who use the weapons manufactured by his father, Tobias. Joe has sworn to overcome the shame his family name signifies among his coworkers and the public. He is first among the rangers protecting the giant lizards.
Joe's sister, Amissa, is a celebrity, hunting animals and posing with their carcasses and posting her exploits on her huge social media following. Joe seeks to foil her hunts and attacks on his charges whenever he can. She will attempt to stop her brother with a bullet if necessary.
Simone LaRue is a reporter arriving on Mintari to write about Jurassic Joe and the dinosaurs he loves. The plucky redhead fears animals, even the noisy little ankle-biters favored among the billions of denizens of Cloventia. She is especially afraid of the towering dinosaurs she faces to meet Joe, but she must face her fears if she wants her story.
Figaro is my favorite of the human characters. Saved and raised by a herd of dinosaurs, she knows only her wild life as a member of the herd. If she ever knew a language, she has forgotten all but the communication she shares with her herd. Wild and untamed, Figaro must save her herd as she discovers who she is.
The nonhuman characters are the dinosaurs. Especially Dozer, Joe's companion and mount. A huge stegosaur, twice the size of an elephant, Dozer lives for Joe. Ivan is a huge, black-scaled T-Rex with a hunger for humans, especially Joe. They have history. Ivan killed and ate Joe's wife and unborn child.
This story is going to be the opening of a terrific series about the people and animals of Mintari with amazing human and nonhuman characters and strange and wonderful encounters between them. I cannot wait for the rest of the series! This is a great read!

Great story, fantastic characters & descriptive writing.
Would highly recommend.
The actual premise of the story is good, not an island of dinosaurs but an entire planet.
The description of the dinosaurs, their habitats and behaviours was wonderful, so well written you could be there.
But the characters seemed to be an afterthought which is a shame. I've read other books by the author and enjoyed them so it's not that the author can't create good, believable characters. Just this time he didn't bother. A shame as the characters and their single dimension telegraph virtually every plot element.
