In a world where man rules dinosaurs with his mind—where survival is won by the ruthless and where the weak become slaves or perish, comes the ultimate test of man's continued supremacy.

Having outgrown the forest mankind has suppressed it in, the Necroraptor is ready to break out and openly challenge man's right to dominate the world. Its renown lethal capriciousness scares the Megazaurs (dinosaur riders) enough, they have no choice but to plead for help from the nation they have forsworn to destroy (in the name of the father god).

Realizing the raptors will turn to their lands once it ravishes the Twelve Omadas, the Thirteenth Omada sends Akysha, their most promising warrior, with a small army to help their bitter enemies. Owning a god-given skill with a sword, Akysha vows the raptors will learn to fear the bite of her blade or the forest will run red with their blood. And if the raptors prove to be a match for her sword, she has a three thousand-pound best friend with a jaw full of razor-like teeth to back her up.

But Akysha soon finds that there are dangers in the lands of the Twelve Omadas that can't be fought with swords and teeth. An unseen enemy begins to spark the flames of a civil war that could endanger her mission. And worse, the barbaric lands of the Twelve Omadas bring an uncomfortable truth to light about her god given abilities. Her gift comes with a 'Fury' that proves love and hate are different sides of the same sword, and Akysha is always endanger of falling off her precarious balance on the edge where those two sides meet.

The story is about a young warrior woman who makes her way in a world of warfare. She has her ability to immerse into the fight like a fury, making her unbeatable. But in spite of her virtue she is like other women, finding love.

This book is built around a fresh and compelling idea I haven't come across yet: humans can control dinosaurs with their minds. Maybe the mental symbiosis would fit better, since the dinos have their own will, still they obey commands from their human mates.

I have to admit, I was lost first, and it took a while to understand who is who and what is happening. There is a complex world of tribes and ranks.

People who are into books with dragons will like this book, since dinos are similar in a way. They even come in more varieties having different capabilities.

I had to come back for more – and I was not disappointed.

Those wonderfully crafted dinosaurs are back, up to their clever and cunning ways, and this time we have a woman warrior who is unstoppable atop her beast but not unlovable.

Akysha's Fury is another amazing read by Brian Poor, well penned with excellent visuals, a host of well thought out characters, and those wicked cool dinosaurs that make the room move under your chair as you read. Poor's female protagonist, Akysha, is definitely her father's daughter.

Another can't put it down read by this writer, and highly recommended.

This book was....different. I get the idea and I think I understand the world in which the characters live but it's a strange world. Not everything is explained and some parts of the book are very simple and straightforward but others are overly detailed. I think if the author used the actual names of the dinos then it would be easier to tell them apart.

This one took a bit to get through and I'm still not fully sure how I feel about it.... so if you are going to try it out, best of luck to you.
