These all-new, stand-alone fantasy novels are written by top-notch fantasy and sci-fi authors and are filled with robust adventures, lyrical details, and a cast of memorable dinosaur characters.Becoming the new apprentice to the Habitat Partner of Forest is very important to young Olivia, but it seems as if it will take forever. While doing another dull jungle plant life survey with her Plateosaurus partner, Hightop, they hear disturbing news -- the root that guarantees all Dinotopians longevity is disappearing. As if that was not enough, Olivia learns that she will have to work with annoying Albert and his Chasmosaurus partner, Thunderfoot. Every potential apprentice is dispatched to all corners of Dinotopia, and now Olivia has a chance to surpass Albert and guarantee her own apprenticeship. But in her hurried, hopeful search for answers, what important questions is she forgetting to ask?

Humans and dinosaurs co-operate to protect a plant that apprently makes them live long beyond their allotted three score years and ten. As the title suggests, there's plenty of fire action - running away from same, putting out etc. Of the Dinotopia books read so far I would say this was the least gripping and had the weakest story. Sean drifted off a number of times, which is unusual for him, so make of that what you will.

This was a pretty decent adventure in Dinotopia and while I felt they focused to much on the botany and the plants of dinotopia and the climax felt a little rushed but it was still an overall fun adventure.

Loved these as a child. Beautifully imagined world, swashbuckling adventure. Multiple authors for refreshing different writing styles.

A wonderful, fantastic series. The authors do a good job to keep their writing and voice congruous throughout the various books.

This was a very interesting story filled with all sorts of emotional highs and lows. Stick with it, it's worth it.

Part of a series. It is a fantasy island where dinosaurs and humans work together to solve problems.

More fun on Dinotopia with a plot that moves at quite a quick pace. I wish I had a saurian life partner!!! And a plant that allows longevity.
