Clash of the Tyrants
Imagine a world where dinosaurs survived...
Bea and Carter Kingsley have been struggling to fit in at school in England after their adventures and the tragic loss of their grandmother, Bunty. Despite his misgivings about further travel, their godfather Theodore decides to take them to America, to visit their Uncle Cash Kingsley's ranch in California. Unexpectedly reunited with Viscount Lambert Von Knutr, and introduced to his wife, Anya Sitz, Bea and Carter find themselves temporarily separated when Bea accompanies the glamorous Viscount's wife to San Francisco. Theodore, still determined to unlock the mysteries of the journals the childrens' father left behind, takes off on a quest of his own. Will the rifts growing be healed - or widen? The adventure concludes in Wild West style with a dramatic showdown at the rodeo...
In a world where dinosaurs have survived and evolved alongside humans, Bea and Carter Kingsley are searching for answers to the disappearance of their parents. But the answers our heroes seek are surrounded in mystery. What is the secret of the Saurmen? And who else is interested in discovering it - can everyone they meet be trusted?
The world of SUPERSAURS is wonderfully realized, grounded in historical events and a classic storytelling adventure beautifully illustrated throughout.

Book three in the ongoing series, The World of Supersaurs.
The saga continues as the Kingsley siblings, Bea and Carter, along with their guardian, Theodore Logan, and Carter’s pet Dwarf Black Tyrant, Buster, travel from their homeland in England to California to visit with the children’s uncle, Cash Kingsley, and his family on his saur ranch. Along with a rodeo and theater premiere in San Francisco there are livestock slaughters by unknown beasts on neighboring ranches and a visit to a mysterious archaeological wonder. Old friends are back along with old nemeses. The book continues on with the series’s message of the grim reality and its tragic consequences of needless and unchecked exploitation of the world’s fauna, focusing on the dinosaurs, and the need for public awareness and support of wildlife conservation. Once again, I enjoyed the story although I’m not too crazy with the idea that it’s starting to introduce some elements of the world of fantasy, e.g. magic stones, notwithstanding the concept that the books take place in an alternate reality with dinosaurs still alive in modern society. I knocked off a star only because of the verbal and graphic depiction of cruelty to the animals, albeit the illustrations were postmortem. I see that as of this writing there are at least three additional titles in this series and I still do intend to continue on reading the rest of those books.
