Book Description

December 30, 2003
The crew of shipbred technicians sent to the planet Ireta were prepared for a routine mission to catalog flora and fauna and search for new energy sources. Kai and his beautiful coleader Varian, the best xenob-vet in the business, followed all the standard procedures, but the result of their investigations was totally unexpected.

When their rescue ship mysteriously disappears, they suddenly find themselves surrounded by giant swamp creatures, deadly predators, and terrifying dinosaurs. And a curious change begins to come over many of the crew members—a mutinous change that will lead all of them, in one way or another, into the primitive darkness of a future world that holds many mysteries yet to be revealed. . . .

So begins Anne McCaffrey’s exciting adventures Dinosaur Planet and Dinosaur Planet Survivors—together in one thrilling volume for the first time!

4.0 out of 5 stars dinosaur lady, April 19, 2006
This review is from: The Mystery of Ireta: Dinosaur Planet & Dinosaur Planet Survivors (Mass Market Paperback)
i thoroughly enjoyed the book. there were a few oh-hums but even they had important info to read. this is a good book to read for any dinosaur fan. got out a dinosaur dictionary to look up the animals that exist on the planet and even that was interesting to do. then in the second book is TOR a rock animal who flies, facinating and the nasty heavy-worlders from first book. you wonder if what the book tells you on how the dinosaurs got there could be true. read the book and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not PERN but Fun, March 26, 2009
This review is from: The Mystery of Ireta: Dinosaur Planet & Dinosaur Planet Survivors (Mass Market Paperback)
This story may take place in the same universe as PERN but is as unaware of it as they would be of it. It may also be the future or alternate universe of Damia and the FT&T crowd, who knows if technology ever overtook ESP?

Primarily this is a space/planetary adventure complete with aliens and social commentary much like the original Star Trek (of which I am also a fan). If I tell you the plot I've said too much so trust this quick read to entertain and delight and it's a good read aloud story for the 7-13 crowd and a secret pleasure for the adults too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dinosaur Planet and Dinosaur Planet Survivors, August 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mystery of Ireta: Dinosaur Planet & Dinosaur Planet Survivors (Mass Market Paperback)
I had previously read both of these titles as individual books; however having them combined into one is nice. I really enjoyed this series which leads into the Planet Pirates, great writer, with a good way of weaving you into the story and keeping your attention.
