In a market filled with one-dimensional "meg" stories, Greig Beck's work stands out for high quality tale-telling and imagination. Well beyond best of breed. If you liked these, check out his Center of the Earth series - in fact, all his work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Greig Beck is well worth a read. In an Amazon market filled with well-meaning but two dimensional works, his novels stand out strongly as high quality imaginative work. The best thing about his writing is the fact that his work is an evolution and improvement and not simply a hacked version of a particular vision originally by others. His craftmanship is outstanding, making his e-imagining of Verne ( Mysterious Island and Center of the Earth), Doyle (Primordia), and Lovecraft (Book of the Dead) are mature works that stand perfectly on their own rather than just derivative second tier efforts. His work reminds me of Michael Shea’s works set in Jack Vance’s Dying Earth, or the various sendups written by Philip Jose Farmer. READ THIS SERIES!

Good dialogue and an original plot. I liked it. The narration was good. I felt like the plot was a little thin but overall it was good. Would listen again.

I was prepared to be disappointed but after a couple of chapters found this to be captivating. Good plot, a clever twist on a common theme and good dialogue to boot. Highly recommended

Really liked the Primordia series ... very listenable and could not put them down. In fact the best part of Christmas 2020 is that I got time to listen to all three volumes in a row. Very original take in Vol I on the Conan Doyle Lost World story and Volumes II - and particularly III - go well beyond the original Doyle theme in a captivating way. Could not put these down, and my wife gave me a hard time for not paying attention to family Xmas stuff instead of listening to Audible.

Highly recommended. Check out Beck's other works, well worth the listen.

This is the last book I hared with my youngest brother now passed. He was as much of a Beck fan as I am. And why not? GREAT LOOT AND STORYTELLING. We're gonna need a bigger boat!

Beck has a highly original take on a theme going back to Jules Verne. GREAT STORYTELLING, great dialogue, and all around hard to put down. Hard to put down!
