Tophero: Son of Smilodon - Jungle Lord of the New Millennium
A heady blend of Conan the Barbarian, science-fiction archetypes, monstrous prehistoric beasts, and intrigues among fictional billionaires (who live in Montecito!), Tophero, Son of Smilodon: Jungle Lord of the New Millennium might just be the most action-packed entertainment you will find outside a movie theater. --The IndependentThe author tapped into an ancient yearning for the wild part of ourselves to find expression and release...  W.W. Ni has imagined this world so thoroughly, his powers of description are formidable, and his research is outstanding. When I wasnt reading the book, I found myself daydreaming about the characters, and felt a constant tickle of curiosity about what would happen next. This is a fascinating story, and I congratulate this talented writer. --Lois Gilbert is the author of River of Summer (Penguin-Putnam, 1999), Without Mercy (NAL Dutton, 2000,) and Returning to Taos (Five Star, 2006).
