About this listen

FROM THE ICE....

A mammoth, flash frozen in solid ice 10,000 years ago is brought to the surface by a team of scientists. An act of sabotage frees the giant from its icy tomb and reveals the secret held inside.

OUT OF THE MAMMOTH....

The body of an ancient woman, cloaked in furs, slides out of the mammoth's belly. But it is not the woman that holds the team's attention - it is the object she is clutching: a device created by an advanced civilization.

THE HUNT IS ON....

The device is accidentally activated, summoning forces who seek its destruction. It is the key to mankind's salvation and freedom from the sinister force hiding behind the curtain, pulling the strings, and leading humanity towards destruction.

Critic reviews

"Jeremy Robinson's novel Raising the Past is a rollicking Arctic adventure that explores the origins of the human species. Written in a solid cinematic style, it starts with the excavation of a frozen mammoth in the wilds of the Canadian tundra and ends with a pitched battle for the future of mankind. A story not to be missed!" (James Rollins, best-selling author of Altar of Eden)
" Raising the Past by Jeremy Robinson is a taut thriller that zooms. It's a wonderful mix of prehistoric intrigue, a modern-day love story, and a futuristic conspiracy bound to envelop any reader. Highly recommended." (Jon F. Merz, author of the Lawson Vampire series)

I wanted to like it.

I have listened to a couple of his books. The premise always sounds really interesting. What I have a hard time with is the love stories. So many of his books the characters fall in love like a young adult novel. Some kind of adventure will be happening and then wammo some gushy love story element to it. Its distracting.

Jeremy and Jeffrey creat amazing works

The combination of author and narrator churn out some truly amazing stories together. Think a combination of Indiana Jones, seal team 6 and the x-files. This latest addition to their collection of stories s won’t disappoint. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Good but a little rushed

I enjoyed the storyline and characters. But I found some of the decisions made by characters a bit ridiculous.

Awesome

Amazing book, well-told by a fantastic narrator. The second in the Origins series, this is a brilliant sci fi thriller that will keep you turning those pages to the end.

I'm ambivolent.

On the one hand, I hated the style of this book -- and also the style of the way it was read. On the other hand, I kind of liked the story and found it compelling. I didn't feel like I wasted a credit (hence the 3 stars), but I was annoyed by the reader. He sounded like a TV announcer to me, not like someone reading a story. His characters were not distinctive (so it helped that the author named the character each time they spoke: Eddie said, "What do we do now?" Eve said, "I'm not sure.") The combination was less an entertaining story than a blow by blow description of a sequence of events, and yet, not terrible. People died, and I didn't care. The polar bear was the only convincingly real part of the book. Not a fan though.

Plot Twist

Should have seen the plot twist coming, but then again no clue was given that there was a twist. Well, maybe. Probably I wasn’t paying attention to it.

Arctic thrills

Jeremy Robinson and narrator Jeffrey Kafer have done it again! This arctic sci-fi novel is very fun and the audible version is equally so. I seriously can't think of anything I didn't like. Probably because it's awesome. Check this out, won't you?
