PART TWO: "The Rise of The Gold Eagle" (a brief overview)

This second part of the "Human Dinosaurs" book series is called "The Rise of The Gold Eagle" and takes place in the days following "The Tales of Mitch".  The story begins with "The Birth of Rex" as the main character awakens in a hospital having almost died in the last attack by the Wolf gang.  Now having brain damage, Mitch's personality is altered and now refers to himself as "The Rex".  Rex promptly declares war on the Wolf gang and begins gathering followers to a new gang who's only goal is to destroy Duce and his elite band of assassins.  This gang is later called "The Gold Eagle" and now stands poised to enter "The Gang Wars" against Duce and his Wolf gang.  This becomes "The Rise of The Gold Eagle" and tells of the creation and first battles of this deadly new gang.  Although the Wolf gang controls the town, The Gold Eagle alone fights back even with the odds constantly stacked against them.

The majority of the story takes place during a violent period later known as "The Gang Wars" during the years 1987-1988.  The main characters are between the ages of 15-17 and have suffered greatly since the last brutal attack of the Wolf gang in "The Tales of Mitch", leaving one dead and three seriously wounded.  Beginning with Rex's faithful servant Cassie, Rex begins to build a new gang of elite warriors united under the banner of his "Mind's Eye"; striking out at the Wolf gang and driving fear into the heart of their leader Duce.  As the power of The Gold Eagle grows, the Wolf gang is for the first time put on the defensive as "The Gang Wars" begin to spiral out of control.  The story then continues in the third part of the Human Dinosaurs series called "The End of The Gang Wars".
