About this listen

Like the "Dark Continent" of Africa, the dark island of Madagascar holds many chilling secrets. One of them is a long-thought extinct species of dinosaurs living at the country's core.

A massive earthquake rocks the mountain range within the Andringitra National Park. The splitting Earth reveals a network of tunnels, hidden away for millennia. Responding to the series of violent upheavals, a pack of hypersensitive predators flee their subterranean home; frenzied and hungry, they head for the surface.

Former Navy SEAL Ian Hunt begrudgingly accepts an offer to lead an exploratory team. What they uncover is the find of a lifetime... if they survive long enough to tell anyone.

Dinosaurs are alive and well at the heart of the dark island.

It's been done . . . a lot

Not a bad book. But not a great one either. It's just too much like all the others of the genre. If you've read Greig Beck's 'Primordia', then you've essentially read this one. This is the Cliff Notes version. The characters were good, the action was good, the science got a little long, and the whole story got a little long. There just wasn't anything really original here. I'll eventually read something else by this author, but I won't rush out to get it.

Exciting listen!

I liked the story a lot. I have always been a Jurassic fan. i was on the edge of my seat several times. I loved the characters especially Max. I found the narration a little distracting though

This one has teeth!

A classic, lost world thriller. Lots of fun with lots of teeth. I'm hoping for another book in the series.

Decent Book, but Has Quirks

Most of the plot is good, though it gets more unbelievable near the end. The narrator does a great job, but has random long pauses mid sentence. The characters start as very relatable and then become completely scatter brained by the end. Overall ok but not amazing.

Journey to the center of the Earth meets the lost world

This was a really good story. If you ask me, there should be more. I would really like to see more about the two underground tribes to see if they’re really around the world along with what other creatures live below. One things for sure the next expedition is going to need a lot of fire power and a lot of other scientist to find out what really lives in this Savage ecosystem.
