*"Fans of Captain Raptor and the Moon Mystery will welcome this new adventure and clamor for more... This graphic novel comes alive with O’Brien’s watercolor and gouache illustrations. The action moves quickly in small frames dense with realistic dinosaurs in armor and the inner workings of spaceships. Dramatic chase and battle scenes are depicted in full-page illustrations or full-bleed spreads...Few readers–reluctant or otherwise–will be able to resist this clever mix of dinosaurs, pirates, and science fiction."
—School Library Journal, starred review

"Rendered in realistic, gloriously melodramatic detail, the toothy, armored dinosaurs look ready to burst out of their comics-style panels, blasters blazing. O’Malley and O’Brien have way too much fun here, and the Captain’s legions of fans will, too."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Many readers will find the combination of scaly skin, huge teeth, elaborate spaceships, and explosions on nearly every page completely irresistible. A sure hit with dinosaur/sci-fi fans and an undoubted draw for reluctant readers."
