It's about as ridiculous a scenario as you could possibly invent to bring dinosaurs into the modern world.
Didn't know about the book series. I did know about the holograms/prosthetics, though. I just liked that there was a scenario where dinosaurs didn't all go extinct. Of course, recent reseach suggests that dinosaurs died out from the Cretaceous extinction due to a sudden build up of carbon in the atmosphere that dinosaurs' ineffecient respiration systems couldn't adapt to. As Dr. Rigby of Notre Dame University once told me and some teachers at a dig, "So Jurassic Park my foot!"

But back to the topic...

I'll check out the books, though. Need something new to read that isn't manga, anyways.
