From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primal_Rage: "When Primal Rage II was cancelled, Atari allegedly felt it was necessary to somehow present the story for the sequel in one form or another. Thus, in 1997, a novel called Primal Rage: The Avatars, written by John Vornholt, was published by Boulevard Books. The book tells what happened to the dinosaur gods 65 million years ago, and then moves into the main story of the gods' reign on Urth renewed, then the beast Necrosan appears. The book also focuses on fleshing out the world of Primal Rage, and does so by bringing "the Avatars" to the forefront of the story, they being the humans chosen by their respective gods to be their shamans or other titles of nobility. A number of details to the backstory of Primal Rage are made clear in The Avatars: The events in Primal Rage take place in the year 1000 AC (After Cataclysm) or about the year 3000 AD by the Gregorian calendar. The battles of the dinosaurs are referred to as "The Primal Rage". The spell used to imprison the dinosaur gods is called the Bonds of Forbidding. Necrosan the skeletal dragon (who is referred to as Necronus on the introductory page) reactivates the Bonds of Forbidding to entrap the gods."

From the back cover: For a thousand years, they waged bloody battles to conquer Urth. Now, a common enemy has conquered them. And the bloodiest battle of all awaits...

The wars known as the Primal Rage have ended. The great dino-gods have been magically imprisoned. And Necrosan, an evil creature of fearsome power, lays waste to Urth with his undead armies. In his way stand The Avatars - eight supreme fighters who can free their dino-god masters from the spell that binds them. Shaman of Blizzard and sorceress of Vertigo, minion of Diablo and paladin of Armadon, they must put aside their differences... to defeat the menace that threatens them all - or watch as vile Necrosan conquers Urth...
