I e-mailed amazon.com about the status of the book The Hand of Dinotopia. This is what they told me:
Hello Matthew,Hopefully, someone eventually will.I contacted the publisher, and was informed that due to a series of misadventures (involving publisher buy-outs and other snafus too involved to go into here) this book was never actually published. Presumably the manuscript still exists somewhere (in Mr. Foster's head, if nowhere else), but no one knows who will eventually publish it and when. Or even "if", for that matter.
Update: Dinotopia.com gives the release date for The Hand of Dinotopia as Spring 1999.
Amazon.com lists a book called Outer Heat by Alan Dean Foster in their catalog. "Outer Heat" was the production title of Alien Nation, and this book may be an early version of the Alien Nation novelization.
