Book Synopsis
Overs the years, the world was filled with fabulous creatures. There were wooly elephants and rhinos, saber-toothed cats, great wolves and lions, giant tortoises - and in Australia giant lizards. Megalania was one of those. This title tells the story of these amazing lizards and the world in which they lived.

Trade Review
"Dragons in the Dust is a fascinating attempt to recover the life and times--4.5 million to about 46,000 years ago--of this giant monitor lizard."--New Scientist, 3 July 2004
