At the height of the Vietnam War, a search and rescue team known as Vulture Squad is sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon.

As Vulture Squad hunts through the primordial depths of the valley, they discover ancient horrors that not only threaten to unravel their minds, but to end their lives, as well. When the casualties mount, the men of Vulture Squad must abandon their human nature and give in to their savage instincts to survive...the Primitive War.

Disclaimer: This novel is set in the Vietnam War, and as such, it isn't suitable for children. There is graphic violence, adult language, drug use, and many references to war-borne tragedy.

This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. Between the writing and the acting, this has been a phenomenal experience. Legitimately can not wait for the rest of the series to be available on here.

Breathtaking story with incredible use of modern dinosaur interpretation

Interesting story taking place in Vietnam during the Vietnam War but with a Mesozoic twist when a Russian time travel experiment opened a portal to the Cretaceous period, letting a bunch of dinosaurs into a valley in Vietnam. Fun story if somewhat different. I enjoyed it a lot.

Very suspensful, decent character development, decent plot, very dark, very brutal. Its everything I could've asked for in a dino thriller.

So This IS why they're making a movie out of it

This was a great listen. It definitely draws inspiration from some of the dinosaur classics ( Land That Time Forgot, Valley of Gwangi, Lost World and several others), it's even dedicated to Michael Crichton. With that said, it manages to be its own unique thing with a pretty straight forward story.

A simple story is good thing here because it allows for the characters to be well rounded and developed, and there sure are a lot of characters. Praise to the author and also to the performer for making sure every character has a distinct and interesting voice. This makes for some very impactful moments when it comes time for some of our boys that we get to know bite the dust.

It's also a decent war story, it hits all the right notes of soldiers struggles with having to go out and serve for their country.

This was a pretty good read. A combination of Jurassic Park, Predator, and Dino crisis. I'm very glad I took the recommendation from DangerVille! I'm very much hopping the rest of the series is to be released in audiobook, I'd buy it and listen to it!

I enjoyed it

Dinosaurs eating humans in the Vietnam war. You may think the premise is too silly to make a good story, but you may be pleasantly surprised if you take the time to read it. It's very realistic in its portrayal of mental illness, how the government would respond to a situation like this, the dinosaurs themselves, and war, The characters are deep, the dinosaurs are awesome, just listen to it. if I had to critique one thing it's that the excuse for dinosaurs being in Vietnam is very lame. Other than that, I heavily enjoyed this book and I cannot wait for the audiobooks of primitive war 2 and primitive war dispatches.

Better then what the Jurassic Park novel showed in my opinion. Characters are very enjoyable and the violence is insane.

I love this story!!!
Dinosaurs and the Vietnam War is a great combination and guess what… there’s going to be a movie adaptation of it!!!!
Great narration overall too
I personally think it would be better with music and sound effects though

Two words: Dino mite!!
