" - Publishers Weekly "Our fascination with Tyrannosaurus rex, the aptly named king of the dinosaurs, has been fed by Jurassic Park and other films, but the reality is equally entrancing . Hone successfully integrates two equally fascinating stories: how our knowledge of these fabulous creatures was pieced together over time and what we can infer about them." - Kirkus Reviews "Hone's book is an in-depth portrait that treats the entire [Tyrannosaurus rex] group in four sections focused on, respectively, the definition, morphology, ecology, and future study of these "king" theropods (i.e., "wild-foots--carnivorous dinosaurs) . He happily asserts his continuing fascination with tyrannosaurs and mightily piques ours." - Booklist "This volume is the go-to for tyrant dinosaurs." - Library Journal.
